I am working on a script that will send an email with a .csv file
attachment. I can get everything set correctly, and the email gets
sent properly. The problem is with the attachments. This maybe a MIME
thing instead of something wrong with my script. My script is based
on an example from Hal F.'s The Ruby Way book. If anyone has any
suggestions or see something I did wrong I would greatly appreciate
it. Below is my script. Below that is what the email I receive looks
like.
Thanks!
Begin Script
require ‘time’
require ‘net/smtp’
require ‘date’
##################################################################
This portion of the code assembles the filenames of the files
to be attached in the email

time = Time.now #set time object to the current time
month = time.month #grab the number of the month from the
current time
day = time.day #grab the day of the current time
year = time.year #grab the year of the current time
month = month + 1 #to match the format of Ian’s file names
if month < 10 #formatting
fullmonth = “0” + month.to_s
else
fullmonth = month.to_s
end
if day < 10
fullday = “0” + day.to_s
else
fullday = day.to_s
end #end of formatting
filename1 = “pagecount-” + year.to_s + fullmonth + fullday + “.csv”
#assemble file name
