creating & sending formatted (with bolds & colors) CSV
Hi ,

I have a situation.

Need is to create & send a formatted file with header in BOLD & colored & some sequel results as a content.

I know echo -e \033 command, but its scope is limited in PUTTY.

How to retain the formatting out of Putty; say after someone opens a email attachment of this output file then formatting should be there.

Hope I cleared my question. Looking for your assistance

Thanks

You probably want it to be in some proprietary format - not text.

You can use
html
pdf
postscript

and others - they just need to be in a format the receiver's mail reader will render. Example: MS Office Express Mail can render html.

So you need to find a way to create your document. There are opensource software packages like openoffice.org that will meet your needs.
