I'm trying to send a mail with a subject, a unique receiver, and few lines of text in the body. Almost everything is working as expected, except the body gets attached as a file instead of being in the mail's body.
Here is my code:
destinataire="foo#mail.com"
obj="** ALERTE BACKUP sur $host pour le dump DB de $db** "
body="Erreur lors du dump de la DB $db sur l'hote $host\n"
body="$body - Code erreur: $ret\n"
body="$body - Env: $prodfolder\n"
body="$body \n\nMail envoyé a $destinataire"
echo $body | mail -s "$obj" ${destinataire}
The content of $body gets transformed into a file, and attached to the mail. I don't understand what I am doing wrong, or if there is any additional configuration to do?
Thanks to xlembouras, and this post, the problem as been solved:
Language-specific characters such as é combined with default encoding set to UTF-8 (on the system the mail is being sent from) leads the body of the message to be transferred as attachment instead of raw text.
Try this instead:
mail -s "$obj" ${destinataire} <<EOF
Erreur lors du dump de la DB $db sur l'hote $host
- Code erreur: $ret
- Env: $prodfolder
Mail envoyé a $destinataire
EOF

I have a problem with my script. I tried to read a xml file with cat and read each lines with a loop. For example:
cat file.xml | while read line; do echo $line done
But inside my xml files, i had very long lines without backslash and it seems like cat file.xml didn't take big lines on file. However, when i did cat file.xml without the 'while read line', it works.
Is cat limited by the length of the line? Or did i just do a bad manipulation? What should i do to get these lines?
Thanks and bye.
Here is my script that does not work (in french):
#!/bin/bash
## SCRIPT PERMETTANT DE POUVOIR PRENDRE UNE SOURCE DE TXT POSSEDANT DU TEXTE À CHAQUE LIGNE ET LES PLACER, GRACE À UN MOT CLEF, DANS DES FICHIERS SPECIFIES VIA LE CHEMIN D'ACCESS D'UN FOLDER INDIQUÉ PAR L'UTILISATEUR.
## EXEMPLE ##
## L'utilisateur prend un dossier "X" ou sont contenus des XML. Il a placé dans tous ces XML un mot clé "motclefnumero1". Grace à ce script, il pourra changer ce mot clé par les lignes d'un fichier texte.
#### DEMANDE UTILISATEUR ####
echo 'Quel est le fichier source TXT (Possedant ce que vous voulez mettre)'
read textSource
echo 'Quel est le folder où les fichiers que vous souhaitez traiter sont placés?'
read folderSource
echo 'Indiquer le mot clé souhaité (Exemple : motclef1)'
read motClef
# cat file | cut -c1-80
# TABLEAU CONTENANT LES LIGNES DE NOTRE SOURCE TXT
myArray=()
while IFS= read -r line; do
myArray+=("$line")
done < "$textSource"
i=0
## PROCESS
ls -1 "$folderSource" | while read file; do
cat "$folderSource/$file" | while read texte; do
# Dans le cas où le dossier folderSource n'existe pas
if [ ! -d "$folderSource/resultat" ]; then
mkdir "$folderSource/resultat"
fi
## Effectuer la transputation du texte demandé dans notre texte de remplacement
echo ${texte//$motClef/${myArray[$i]}} >> "$folderSource/resultat/$file"
echo "Line $i : $texte"
## CONSOLE LOG
echo ${myArray[$i]} $folderSource/$file
echo $i
done
## Increment i var
i=$((i+1))
done
RESOLVED :
Hello, i've resolved my problem. Instead of use this :
cat "$folderSource/$file" | while read texte; do
Just use IFS to read each line, it works :
while IFS='' read -r texte || [[ -n "$texte" ]]; do
done < "$folderSource/$file"

I am sending mail from a ruby script as shown below -
body = File.new "body.html","w"
body.puts "Result body"
cmd = "mutt -e \"set content_type=text/html\" -s \"Automation Result\" -a \"Result.xls\" -- xxx#yyy.com < body.html"
system(cmd)
it is sending the mail with attachment but with a blank body.
Strange thing is when I do
mutt -e "set content_type=text/html" -s "Automation Result" -a
"Result.xls" -- xxx#yyy.com < body.html
it sends the email with the attachment and html body. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?
Even
mail = Mail.new do
from 'automation_root#bidstalk.com'
to 'maitreya#bidstalk.com'
subject 'Hello'
body File.read('body.html')
add_file :filename => 'Result.xls', :content => File.read('Result.xls')
charset = "UTF-8"
end
is sending mails without body.
The mistake I was doing was I was opening the file, writing to it but not closing it before sending the mail so it was basically not saved and was 'null' when I was sending the mail.
just added -
body.close before the mutt statement and it worked fine.
In my script i want to send a mail with some subject, some text as body along with csv file as attachement
My problem is subject has special characters in portuguese language
like this
Subject: Relatório de utilização do QRCODE
i am using sendmail command to send mail because i need to change sender name(not email id)
I tried this :
Subject=Relatório de utilização do QRCODE
mnth=$(date '+%m/%Y' --date="1 month ago")
echo 'mês:'$mnth>>mailBody.html
echo 'contagem de registros:'11090>>mailBody.html
cat mailBody.html>out.mail
echo "$mnth"
uuencode QR_Log.csv QR_Report_$fname.csv >> out.mail
sendmail -F "xyzname" "$subject" -f "receiver#abc.com" <out.mail
echo "mail sent"
when i run the above script i am getting message like this :
Syntax error in mailbox address "Relat??rio.de.utiliza????o.do.QRCODE"
(non-printable character)
mail sent
How can i achieve this please Help me...
Help is very much appreciated. I'll just wait
Thanks in advance
I wrote a shell script like this and I got a valid title. Try to rewrite the code for sending mail like MIME:
#!/bin/bash
echo 'To: you#domain.net'>>test.html
echo 'From: Some User <user#domain.net>'>>test.html
echo 'Subject: Relatório de utilização do QRCODE'>>test.html
echo 'MIME-Version: 1.0'>>test.html
echo 'Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"'>>test.html
echo 'Content-Disposition: inline'>>test.html
echo ''>>test.html
echo '<span style="color:red;">Your message goes here</span>'>>test.html
sendmail -i -t < test.html
rm test.html
Let me know if this helped :)
Below is my old answer...
Not a linux guy but this may help you. First you must encode the subject to base64. For example:
echo 'your subject' | openssl base64
Let's say you've put the encoded string into $subject variable. Next you set the subject like this when sending email:
"=?UTF-8?B?$subject?="
Basically try to put =?UTF-8?B? before the base64-encoded subject and ?= after it without spaces.
As I said I'm not too much of a linux guy but you'll manage :)
Let me know if it helped.
rfc2045 - (5) (Soft Line Breaks) The Quoted-Printable encoding REQUIRES that encoded lines be no more than 76 characters long.
For bash shell script code:
#!/bin/bash
subject_encoder(){
echo -n "$1" | xxd -ps -c3 |awk -Wposix 'BEGIN{
BASE64 = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/"
printf " =?UTF-8?B?"; bli=8
}
function encodeblock (strin){
b1=sprintf("%d","0x" substr(strin,1,2))
b2=sprintf("%d","0x" substr(strin,3,2))
b3=sprintf("%d","0x" substr(strin,5,2))
o=substr(BASE64,b1/4 + 1,1) substr(BASE64,(b1%4)*16 + b2/16 + 1,1)
len=length(strin)
if(len>1) o=o substr(BASE64,(b2%16)*4 + b3/64 + 1,1); else o=o"="
if(len>2) o=o substr(BASE64,b3%64 +1 ,1); else o=o"="
return o
}{
bs=encodeblock($0)
bl=length(bs)
if((bl+bli)>64){
printf "?=\n =?UTF-8?B?"
bli=bl
}
printf bs
bli+=bl
}END{
printf "?=\n"
}'
}
SUBJECT="Relatório de utilização"
SUBJECT=`subject_encoder "${SUBJECT}"`
echo '<html>test</html>'| mail -a "Subject:${SUBJECT}" -a "MIME-Version: 1.0" -a "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8" you#domain.net
What I would like to do is the following.
Text file content :
This is a simple text file
containing lines of text
with different width
but I would like to justify
them. Any idea ?
Expected result :
This is a simple text file containing
lines of text with different width
but I would like to justify them.
Any Idea ?
I already can split my files at the required width using :
cat textfile|fmt -s -w 37
But in that case, there is no justification...
EDIT : Using par as suggested, I found a problem with accented chars.
This is what gives par 37j1 for me :
This is à simplé text file
containing lines of tèxt with
different wïdth but I woùld like to
justîfy them. Any idéà ?
Not justified anymore... But spaces are altered anyway...
Thanks for your help,
Slander
You can employ nroff as using it man.
(echo '.ll 37'
echo '.pl 0'
cat orig.txt) | nroff
from your input produces:
This is a simple text file containing
lines of text with different width
but I would like to justify them. Any
idea ?
The above WORKS ONLY WITH ASCII.
EDIT
If you want handle utf8 text with a nroff, you can try the next:
cat orig.txt | ( #yes, i know - UUOC
echo '.ll 37' #line length
echo '.pl 0' #page length (0-disables empty lines)
echo '.nh' #no hypenation
preconv -e utf8 -
) | groff -Tutf8
From this utf8 encoded input:

If you delete the line
echo '.nh' #no hypenation
you will get hypenated text

You could use par:
par -j -w37 < inputfile
The -j option would justify paragraphs.
-w denotes max output line length.
For your input, it'd produce:
This is a simple text file containing
lines of text with different width
but I would like to justify them. Any
idea ?
An alternative would be to use emacs:
emacs -batch inputfile --eval '(set-fill-column 37)' --eval '(fill-region (point-min) (point-max))' -f save-buffer
This would also produce:
This is a simple text file containing
lines of text with different width
but I would like to justify them. Any
idea ?
