Thanks for the suggestion. that worked. But now the last part of replacing it in a different file is not working. I tried the below two codes.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
while read line
do
key= echo "$line" | sed 's/\(.*\)\=.*/\1/' 
value= echo "$line" | sed 's/.*\=//'
sed 's/$key/$value/g' test.txt
done < bbb.tx

Code:
#!/bin/bash
input=/home/wip4599/test.txt
while read line
do
key= echo "$line" | sed 's/\(.*\)\=.*/\1/' 
value= echo "$line" | sed 's/.*\=//'
sed 's/$key/$value/g' $input
done < bbb.txt
