It's removing all occurrences of "=" in $line and then assigns the result to tmparray. Read man bash on Parameter Expansion / Pattern substitution.

It's usually pointless to analyze an incomplete code snippet, so next time post an entire meaningful portion of a script. Anyhow:
Code:
field[${tmpArray[0]}]=${tmpArray[1]};       # create an associative array element with index t...[0] and value t...[1]
done < test.conf                            # redirect the do ... done loop's input to a file

I'd propose that with the info given above, you tell us what these lines do, and we eventually correct it.
