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.
