You can process a config file like this, put in a function:
Code:
readconfig(){
  # set state, hostname, ip
  while IFS=" =" read confkey confval
  do
    case $confkey in
    ([Ss]tate) state=$confval;;
    ([Hh]ostname) hostname=$confval;;
    ([Ii]p) ip=$confval;;
    esac
  done
}

You have given my script proposal that certainly needs some adaption.
YOUR version would be more helpful.
But maybe you can help yourself with the following information.
Once you have defined the readconfig function in your script, and once you have the pathname of a config file in a variable, say config, then you can call the function like this
Code:
  readconfig <$config

and then you have set the variables state, hostname, ip that you can echo out as $state, $hostname, $ip.
