Hi All,
In my bash script, I want to load a file into a
variable and keep the line feeds.
x=$(cat filename)
remove all the line feeds.
I want $x to be exactly the same as filename.
This is where I would be using this:
echo "$x" | mailx -s "$Subject" $Cmd $To
I get mailed one long run on line
How do I do get my line feeds back?
The simpler form is "x=$(<filename)", but that's not the problem. The
problem must be mailx. Try just the echo and see what happens.
I wound up doing this. If the $Body variable start
with "file:", then cat the file to mailx (removing
the "file:" first. Otherwise I echo the body:
Mail () {
local Subject=$1
local Body=$2 # note: if $2 starts with "file:" the file will be
use instead
local Cmd=""
local Cmd2=""
...
if [[ "$Body" =~ ^file:.* ]]; then
x=$(echo $Body | sed -e 's/^file://')
Cmd2="cat $x | mailx -s \"$Subject\" $Cmd $To"
else
Cmd2="echo \"$Body\" | mailx -s \"$Subject\" $Cmd $To"
fi
echo $Cmd2
eval $Cmd2
)
