I highly suggest getting copies of Learning Perl, Programming Perl, and The Perl Cookbook. To get you started, you can read files like this: `open FH, '<', $filename or die ("Can't open $filename"); #FH is a "filehandle", and the '<' means "open in read mode" #('>' would be write) while (<FH>) { #the angles around FH mean "read a line" work_with_the_line($_); # $_ holds the current line in this case # work_with_the_line would be a subroutine defined by you } close FH; #don't forget to close files!` [download] Much perl code is out there "in the wild", I highly suggest searching to see if someone has solved a similar problem, then reading and learning from their source. ^{-- $me = rand($hacker{perl});}	[reply] [d/l]

I would add Perl for System Administration (David N. Blank-Edelman author, published by O'Reilly and Associates) to your list, once the OP is more comfortable with the language, as it includes a chapter on performing SNMP against remote devices.	[reply]

Well it depends on how they are stored in the file. If there is only one IP per line, this code will do: `my @ip_array = (); if(open(F_IP,"<$filename")) { my %ip_hash = (); foreach my $ip (<F_IP>) { chomp($ip); #No duplicates! $ip_hash{$ip} = 1; } close(F_IP); @ip_array = keys(%ip_hash); } else { die "AHHHHH! Error Error go away!!"; } #Just keep doing your thing man...` [download] Note that I wrote this on the fly and have not tested it. It should give you a good start though. =) --habit	[reply] [d/l]
