#!/bin/bash

while IFS='=' read LHS RHS
do
   echo "[${LHS}]=[${RHS}]"
   if [ "${LHS#Group}" != "${LHS}" ]
   then
      VAR1="${LHS}";
      VAR2="${RHS}";
   fi
done < a.txt
unset IFS

echo "VAR1:[${VAR1}]"
echo "VAR2:[${VAR2}]"
me@someplace:~/tmp$ ./x.sh
[Username ]=[ #, %, $, ^]
[Group 1]=[ Group A]
[Group 2]=[ Group F, Group G, Group H, Group I,Group J]
