Hi gul,

Below is the output when i do
Code:
file abc.log

abc.log:  ASCII English text, with CRLF, LF line terminators

even i tried with your command as suggested, but as said earlier its going on iteration.(i.e its going in the loop) i have to do a control+C to come out.


Regards
Whizkid

Hi,

It looks like this may be a dos format file, check if you have "dos2unix" if not you can pipe the file through any number of unix utilities to convert to a unix format.

Regards

Dave

Hi Wizkidash,

The format for the "dos2unix" command is;

Code:
dos2unix < abc.log > file_name

You should then be able to mail the file, if there is still an issue - post the output of.

Code:
head abc.log | cat -v -t

Regards

Dave

Perl is probably the most robust way to send emails with attachments. You need the mime:lite perl utility, but it is well documented.

MIME::Lite - search.cpan.org
