Hi,

I'm trying to send an html email on the command line, but the command
fails because there are quotes in the html. How can I send an html
message using the command line? Below is my perl script, and below
that is the output.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi,
I'm trying to send an html email on the command line, but the command
fails because there are quotes in the html. How can I send an html
message using the command line? Below is my perl script, and below
that is the output.
Thanks,
Dan

Anywhere that you have quotation marks within your html, you need to preceed
it with a backslash (\). Blat is written in C, and the command line parser
uses quotation marks to allow spaces within an argument. To tell teh parser
to leave your html quotation marks alone, you need the backslash.

That helped, but i'm still having a problem sending email. The problem now
is the % sign. How do I escape %? I tried \% and %% but neither of those
worked. My email sends fine when I remove the %. Please help!

Thanks,

Daniel

Greetings Daniel,

You wrote; "That helped, but I'm still having
a problem sending email. The problem now is
the % sign. How do I escape %? I tried \% and
%% but neither of those worked. My email sends
fine when I remove the %. Please help!

You shouldn't really need to.
Common escape sequences :
\a Beep
\b Backspace
\c "Control" caracter. \cD = CTRL-D
\e Escape
\f Form feed
\l Make the next letter lowercase
\n New line, return.
\r Carriage return.
\t Tab.
\u Make the next letter uppercase
\x Enables hex numbers
\v Vertical tab
\\ Print backslash
\" Print double quotes
\ Escape next character if known otherwise print. Also allows octal
numbers.
\L Make all letters lowercase until the \E
\U Make all letters uppercase until the \E
\Q Add a backslash-quote to all the nonalphanumerics until the \E
\E Terminates the effects of \L, \U, or \Q

escape @ or $ or "

The only time you need to escape % is when you are
writing it to another file. The use your first
technique, \%. So this;
<td width=\"43%\">Ground Control Full Order </td>
would change to this;
<td width=\"43\%\">Ground Control Full Order </td>

Are you sure this is the problem?

I'm sure that the % is the problem. When I take out the 3 % signs, the
email sends fine. When I put them back in, the email won't send, it gives
me the error.

Hey Daniel,

wow, that is a lot of html in your perl code...
Try using the ' instead of the " char (same key on the keyboard).

Is there any reason you are including all that html code in your perl
code instead of putting it in a file, and reading it in?

You could also use "here documents" to send to Blat like this.
print HTMLout <<End;
<html>
<head> <Title>GroupWise Post Office Statistics</TITLE> </head>
<body>
End

Dd> I'm trying to send an html email on the command line, but the command
Dd> fails because there are quotes in the html. How can I send an html
Dd> message using the command line? Below is my perl script, and below
Dd> that is the output.

Dd> Thanks,

Dd> Dan

I got it to work. I had to double-escape the quotes. Once for putting them
into a perl string, and again for the command line. So my quotes are
escaped like this \\\"

I also had to get rid of the % in my html. I'm not using ' because I need
to put variables into the html. That's also why I'm not reading in the html
from a file.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hey Daniel,
wow, that is a lot of html in your perl code...
Try using the ' instead of the " char (same key on the keyboard).
Is there any reason you are including all that html code in your perl
code instead of putting it in a file, and reading it in?
You could also use "here documents" to send to Blat like this.
print HTMLout <<End;
End Dd> I'm trying to send an html email on the command line, but the
command Dd> fails because there are quotes in the html. How can I send an
html Dd> message using the command line? Below is my perl script, and
below Dd> that is the output. Dd> Thanks, Dd> Dan Dd>

I got it to work. I had to double-escape the quotes. Once for

putting them

into a perl string, and again for the command line. So my quotes are
escaped like this \\\"
I also had to get rid of the % in my html. I'm not using ' because I need
to put variables into the html. That's also why I'm not reading in the html
from a file.
Thanks,
Daniel

Greetings Daniel,

Thats great. Thanks for stopping back to let us all know how you
solved the problem. I wish more folks would do that. I pick up a lot
of good pointers from the feed back in these forums.

I wondered if that was the case, but I didn't see the vars in my quick
look.

What I would suggest then to keep your Perl code a bit more readable,
is use the single quote everywhere you don't have vars included, but
then your escaped quotes where you do.
