Perhaps something like this will get you started:

Code:
T=0
while IFS='|' read -r line f_path p_path
do
    if [ -n "$f_path" ]
    then
       file_name[${#file_name[@]}]=$line
       first_path[${#first_path[@]}]=$f_path
       second_path[${#second_path[@]}]=$p_path
       continue
    fi
    let T=T+1
    case $T in
       1) username=$line ;;
       2) ip=$line ;;
       *) path=$line ;;
    esac
done < config.txt

i=1
while [ $i -le ${#file_name[@]} ]
do
    echo "file$i=\"${file_name[i-1]}|${first_path[i-1]}|${second_path[i-1]}\""
    let i=i+1
done
echo unmae=\"$username\"
echo ip=\"$ip\"

Here we put the filename and 1st and 2nd paths into 3 arrays. username ip and other variables are assigned based on the line number following the filename data.

I've included a block of code to fetch back and print the input to show how you would access it within your script.

realpath

realpath(3X)															      realpath(3X)

NAME

       realpath - resolve pathname

SYNOPSIS


DESCRIPTION

       The  function  derives, from the pathname pointed to by file_name, an absolute pathname that names the same file, whose resolution does not
       involve or symbolic links.  The generated pathname is stored, up to a maximum of bytes, in the buffer pointed to by resolved_name.

RETURN VALUE

       On successful completion, returns a pointer to the resolved name.  Otherwise, returns a null pointer and sets errno to indicate the  error,
       and the contents of the buffer pointed to by resolved_name are undefined.

ERRORS

       The function will fail if:

	      Read or search permission was denied for a component of
				     file_name.

	      Either the	     file_name or resolved_name argument is a null pointer.

	      An error occurred while reading from the file system.

	      Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving
				     path.

	      The		     file_name argument is longer than or a pathname component is longer than

	      A component of	     file_name does not name an existing file or file_name points to an empty string.

	      A component of the path prefix is not a directory.

       The function may fail if:

	      Pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate result whose
				     length exceeds

	      Insufficient storage space is available.
