Search and assign using sed

Hi,
I would like to know how to search for a pattern in a file and assign it to a variable using sed.

For example, my hope.txt
address1=123 street,abc city,xyz
address2=456 street,abc city,xyz

In my script I would like to search for patter "address1" and assign the complete line into a variable "A1". How do I do that?


Thanks,
