Next time use CODE-tags when displaying code, data or logs to enhance readability and to keep formatting like indention etc., ty.

What did you try so far? As a hint you might want to look up the read command and maybe the case command too. Or awk, cut, etc.

Also this "PLZZZ help!!!.." might give an advantage of getting help in World of Warcraft - here it does not and looks like children behaviour.
