Move to different folder

Hi, I have a requirement to move to diff directories based on the input file

Project|SourceFolder|SourceFile|TargetFolder|TargetFile

the above is my Record in a file I have to read the record and move to the Target folder to copy some records
Code:
var_TargetSystem==`cat "$var_SourceFile" | cut -d"|" -f4`

I was using the above CUT function to read the values, It reads the value correctly but when I try to do
Code:
 
Cd $var_TargetSystem

Its not able to cd to particular value coz when I echo the value it print as =c:/Scrip
I dont understand Why I get "=" in front of folder.

Post the output of the following command -

Code:
sed -n Np your_file | od -bc

where N is the line number of the offending record and your_file is the name of your file.

I have to read all the records in the file, now the concern is When I do the cut -d"|" -f4

var_targetsystem=`cat "$var_sourcefile" | cut -d"|" -f4`
echo $var_TargetSystem

I am getting the value as :\test\fold
rather than c:\test\fold I am not getting the first digit

Note: I am using the Cygwin

What does the record look like in the file ?
What are the values of the variables "var_sourcefile" and "var_TargetSystem" ?
