Hello, (Sorry if this is a dup post...)
I need to clarify, Henrique's suggestion worked great for getting the text that I needed via cat(), but I haven't sorted out how to get cat() like output into a variable so I can pass it into the message body variable I am using. Here is what I mean: x [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" paste(x,collapse='\n') [1] "a\nb\nc\nd" y = paste(x,collapse='\n') cat(y) a b c d This is the problem with 'y' has the msg body: paste("msg = MIMEText('",y,"')",sep="") [1] "msg = MIMEText('a\nb\nc\nd')" This is what I am after (I think!): paste("msg = MIMEText('",y,"')",sep="") [1] "msg = MIMEText('a b c d')" Here is how I am actually using it (with sensitive items generalized): require(rJython) rJython <- rJython() rJython$exec( "import smtplib" ) rJython$exec("from email.MIMEText import MIMEText") rJython$exec("import email.utils") mail<-c( #Email settings "fromaddr = 'ccqu...@gmail.com'", "toaddrs = 'userna...@somethinghere.com'" - Show quoted text - jython.exec(rJython,mail) # and here is the error I get. Error in ls(envir = envir, all.names = private) : invalid 'envir' argument Just in case someone asks, I can do this: y = "a test" ...and the above email sends fine with 'a test' as the msg body. Any ideas? PS - I received lots of suggestions. Thank you very much for your effort/input.
