Variable has value with = or == sign

I have a script which is reading value from property file and doing replacement in source location which contains multiple files.
property file has values
Code:
abc=xyz; yux=1;version=3.0;

bcd=123;apple==mango

when my script does search and reads value from property file.

its replacing value for varible ${abc}
to 3.0

Code:
${bcd} to mango

I am using shell script, its works fine in all other scenarios.

I am reading property file as

Code:
abc
bcd

everything on right side of = as value.

XmDeactivateProtocol(library call)										XmDeactivateProtocol(library call)

NAME
XmDeactivateProtocol -- A VendorShell function that deactivates a protocol without removing it SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> #include <Xm/Protocols.h> void XmDeactivateProtocol( Widget shell, Atom property, Atom protocol); DESCRIPTION
XmDeactivateProtocol deactivates a protocol without removing it. It updates the handlers and the property if the shell is realized. It is sometimes useful to allow a protocol's state information (callback lists, and so on) to persist, even though the client may choose to tem- porarily resign from the interaction. The main use of this capability is to gray/ungray f.send_msg entries in the MWM system menu. To support this capability, protocol is allowed to be in one of two states: active or inactive. If protocol is active and shell is realized, property contains the protocol Atom. If protocol is inactive, Atom is not present in the property. XmDeactivateWMProtocol is a convenience interface. It calls XmDeactivateProtocol with the property value set to the atom returned by interning WM_PROTOCOLS. shell Specifies the widget with which the protocol property is associated property Specifies the protocol property protocol Specifies the protocol atom For a complete definition of VendorShell and its associated resources, see VendorShell(3).
