Hi Ygor,

i used this code:

awk 'BEGIN{
FS=","
print "<HTML><BODY><TABLE>"
}
{
printf "<TR>"
for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
printf "<TD>%s</TD>", $i
print "</TR>"
}
END{
print "</TABLE></BODY></HTML>"
}
' file1.csv > file2.xls

after i ran the script,
i got no attchment of any file.
what could be the problem.
here is my code:

spool /test/out/report.csv
select name ||','||
status ||','||
begin||','||
end||','||
from emptab
where name
a.name =b.name
order by name;
spool off
i got this resulst into csv file
then i code

/usr/bin/uuencode report.csv report.csv > attachment_report.csv

then i put your code right here

awk 'BEGIN{
FS=","
print "<HTML><BODY><TABLE>"
}
{
printf "<TR>"
for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
printf "<TD>%s</TD>", $i
print "</TR>"
}
END{
print "</TABLE></BODY></HTML>"
}
' attachment_report.csv > attachment_report.xls

then
mailx -S report 'firstname.lastname@gmail.com' < attachment_report.xls

then i got e-mail with no attchment.

what could be wrong.
help
thx.N.

Question really is, is it a data problem or a presentation problem?
