Hello all,

I need some serious help although I'm sure for most of you this is easy, I'm ready to kill somebody!
I need to write a very efficient peice of code that takes the following SNMP trap as an input from the command line:

%CATD_I_060, SNMPTRAP: -c public 954 165.148.211.199 wblvh001.telkom.c

The script then needs to push each value, (i.e. everything between 'VALUE:' and the next 'OID:') into a seperate variable.

I know I'm asking a lot but I really need help. I have a very basic knowledge and not enough time.

Please help me with some pointers.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
