I have a requiremnet to send multiple files as e-mail attachmnet in shell script. I have used below command.
(printf "%s\n" "BODY"; uuencode out.txt out.txt ; uuencode asgda.txt asgda.txt ) | mailx -m -s "TEST" [email protected]
However the number of files i want to send as an attachmnet are dynamic. So I want to assign the uuencode ... comand to a variable and then use it. I have tried below way,
$ ATTACH_CMD=$(echo `cat $OUTPUT_FILE`)
$ echo $ATTACH_CMD
uuencode out.txt out.txt ; uuencode asgda.txt asgda.txt
$ (printf "%s\n" "BODY"; $ATTACH_CMD ) | mailx -m -s "TEST" [email protected]
And i am getting below error.
sh: uuencode out.txt out.txt ; uuencode asgda.txt asgda.txt: not found.
Can any one please help me with this? Thanks in advance.
I finally found the way. eval makes the trick
eval $STR
$ ATTACH_CMD=$(echo `cat $OUTPUT_FILE`)
$ echo $ATTACH_CMD
uuencode out.txt out.txt ; uuencode asgda.txt asgda.txt
$ (printf "%s\n" "BODY"; eval $ATTACH_CMD ) | mailx -m -s "TEST" [email protected]
