Email from DOS
Subhas
I am running a batch file in which I run one of my crystal report's
via coomand line arguments, then rename the ooutput file. The batch
file runs successfully and I have successfully scheduled it in windows
task scheduler. Now I need to mail the recipients the output of the
crystal report. Is there a way to do it from the batch file or from
dos?? Please help...........

Sorry, that's a Windows question. I'd suggest asking in a Windows
scripting group:
news://microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript
news://microsoft.public.scripting.wsh
FWIW, I don't think it's possible from a Windows command line (which is
*not* DOS) without 3rd party utils. (There is a similar thread in
news://comp.os.msdos.misc under the heading "get my emails from msdos
batch file".)

There is a email program that come in the dos version of lynx (lynx
for dos, not doslynx*) that may work stand alone or you might be able to
script it through lynx (I know lynx can be used to script downloading
files via http), Maybe start looking around at http://lynx.browser.org/
the command might look like
lynx mailto://j...@chokeonthisaddress.spam.dog < file
or
mail j...@chokeonthisaddress.spam.dog < file
Also, kermit can be used for scripting and kermit95 knows some http,
so maybe it can script mailto: --though kermit95 isn't free like almost
every other version of kermit... http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/

*ther may be one with doslynx too.

maybe they wanted a dos type .bat file? So maybe
alt.msdos.batch
alt.msdos.batch.nt
alt.msdos.batch.win9x-meA
would be better?

WIW is nothing. Somewhere some unix type forced to live in winville
has done it, even if they had to code it themselves. And I'm about
95% sure lynx'll do it anyway.

No need to be rude.
Let's look at the full sentence that I wrote, which you conveniently
didn't quote:
FWIW, I don't think it's possible from a Windows command line (which
is *not* DOS) without 3rd party utils.
Hmm... yep, something that a "unix type" wrote certainly does qualify as
a third-party utility. Even lynx is a third-party utility, and in
Windows (and DOS) you can't count on *anyone* having lynx installed.
Anyway, it hasn't been done by "some unix type forced to live in
winville" - I know of at least 3 separate distributions of various
things normally associated with *nix systems rewritten for DOS and/or
Windows.

?
This looks a bit rude to me:

I did however, later think I was a bit too rude and -was- about to
apologize...

The point was it is worthless to say it can't be done with restrictions
that the original poster didn't make. You can just say: "dos is largely
useless without 3rd party utilities" which would in the same sense answer
almost any question asked here, and which is -pointless-. Why not just try
to help them?
Can you do some variation like:
iexplorer mailto://j...@joe.joe < file
if you require dos/windows only?
Of course, like most any task, it could definitely be done with perl.
