Wildcard in mailx argument
Hi All,
I have to send some files as attachments to an email using mailx copmmand in a shell script.
The files will be generated by some other application everyday with names starting with the literal 'Send' followed by some random sequence of characters in the filenames.
I tried using * wildcard like below:
mailx -a /dir/Send*
user@domain.com
However, while executing the script, it picks up only the first file it finds matching the filename and does not pickup remaining files with the similar name format.
The number of files will be varying every day as like their filenames. Only string common in the filenames will be 'Send' in the beginning. I have to send all the files in the directory matching the filenames Send*
Can anyone please help me out? Thanks in advance.

email::send::io
Email::Send::IO(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Email::Send::IO(3pm)
NAME
Email::Send::IO - Send messages using IO operations
SYNOPSIS
use Email::Send;
my $mailer = Email::Send->new({mailer => 'IO'});
$mailer->send($message); # To STDERR
$mailer->mailer_args('filename.txt');
$mailer->send($message); # write file
DESCRIPTION
This is a mailer for "Email::Send" that will send a message using IO operations. By default it sends mail to STDERR, very useful for debug-
ging. The IO functionality is built upon "IO::All". Any additional arguments passed to "send" will be used as arguments to "IO::All::io".
You can globally change where IO is sent by modifying the @Email::Send::IO::IO package variable.
@Email::Send::IO::IO = ('-'); # always append to STDOUT.
Examples
Sending to STDOUT.
send IO => $message, '-';
Send to a socket.
send IO => $message, 'server:1337';

Email::Send, IO::All, perl.
