Parse text file values and send those files as an attachment
We have these files in say \home\abcd\dm
Code:
Summary.txt
log_SI-100.lst
log_SI-101.lst
log_SI-106.lst

The contents of Summary.txt is as below
Code:
 
./log_SI-100.lst:Error detected, rollbacking ./log_SI-101.lst:Error detected, rollbacking ./log_SI-106.lst:Error detected, rollbacking

Now i need a statement which will get all the file names from Summary.txt and then append the contents of these files and send it as an email.

For the above example, the contents of files
log_SI-100.lst
log_SI-101.lst
log_SI-106.lst
will be appended and sent as an email.. please help me out..

You can have a look at https://www.unix.com/302111802-post2.html
or https://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-ex...html-body.html

you can also give a try to
Code:
YOURPATH=/tmp/whatever
cat $(sed "s/:[^.]*/ /g;s:[.]/:$YOURPATH/:g" summary.txt) >attachement.txt
( cat yourbodyfile ; uuencode attachement.txt attachement.txt ) | mailx -s "your subject" user@domain.com
