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.

NAME
XmActivateProtocol -- A VendorShell function that activates a protocol SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Protocols.h> void XmActivateProtocol( Widget shell, Atom property, Atom protocol); DESCRIPTION
XmActivateProtocol activates a protocol. 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 temporarily resign from the interaction. This is supported by allowing a protocol to be in one of two states: active or inactive. If the protocol is active and the shell is realized, the property contains the protocol Atom. If the protocol is inactive, the Atom is not present in the property. XmActivateWMProtocol is a convenience interface. It calls XmActivateProtocol 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).
