Hi ,

I have written code which will ask the subject,body of the mail, attachment and mail id of the receipient.
Code will pick up 4 files zip it. It will zip all the files and then post the mail to the receipient. While zipping the file i am getting error. Can anyone help me with this.

#!/bin/Sh

##Parameters to be passed
echo 'What subject do you want to put for mail'
read subject

echo 'Pass the path of the text file containing the body of the mail'
read body

echo 'Pass the path of the files need to be attached'
read attachment_path

echo 'Pass the mail id'
read mail_receiver


##Start of Program
cd $attachment_path
echo 'current path is' `pwd`


## Count and initialize parameters
count=`ls|wc -l`
echo 'count is '$count
a=0


##introduced while loop to pick up the first 4 files and zip. Delete the files that are already zipped and pick the other file
## to be zipped

while [ $count -gt 0 ]
do
ls|head -4 > zipfiles
cat zipfiles
sed - e 'y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/AbcdeFghIjklmnopqRstuvwxyz/' -e "s/^/\'/" -e "s/$/\'/" <zipfiles> zfile

list_of_file=`cat zfile`
echo $list_of_file

a=`expr $a + 1`
zip Snaps[$a] $list_of_file
rm $list_of_file
count=0
echo 'Files zipped'
rm zfile
done

## This block send the mail to the receiver.
file=`ls`
echo 'count of zip file -' $file
for i in $file
do
echo $i
var=$i
( cat $body
uuencode $var $var
) | mailx -s "$subject" ${mail_receiver}

done

Files zipped


All though files have been put into string still zip takes the wrong file name. Any help with this is much appreciated.

I tried zip trial 'First month of RIA 001.jpg' 'First month of RIA 002.jpg' 'First month of RIA 003.jpg' 'First month of RIA 004.jpg'
and this works properly.But code doesn't work?
