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.
