Hi,

Yesterday, I posted a question on how to open a popup in a batch file when an operation completes...Being that this was too much for me to figure out...I came up with this new sort of simple code (so far) to email me when it's complete:

@ECHO OFF
START mailto:me@mydomain.com?subject=Test^&body=This%%20is%%20just%%20a%%20test.

two problems now exist here...

1. How do I send it automatically (without having to push send)

2. And how could this email be launched based on a statement in the batch file? Another words, you have:

@for %%d in (a,b) do copy file.txt %%d:\

I would want an email after that above code has completed.

Thank you again.

Hi,

I downloaded Mailsend knowing that (from my knowledge) it's impossible to do unattended emails from a batch file without using an external command line tool, so I went with mailsend...

I just downloaded a program called Mailsend and it works, but I need to have the results sent to me via email...I have asked Jim, the author of the program if it could email me the results of a variable inside the script and he says:

Yes, but the variable would be along the lines of %d% ...

That's not a function of MailSend ... it's the way the batch
interpreter modifies the line before executing it.

Could someone help me accomplish this?

I would want the result of this to be sent back to me...

@for %%d in (a,b) do copy file.txt %%d:\

Example...file.txt was successfully copied to drive a: or drive b:

This email will simply let me know if a file was copied to one of those drives or not.

Thank you

Brian what you are needing to do (in your three questions) is really going outside the limits of batch files.

You should be moving up to the newer and more versatile WSH (Windows Script Host)
