Hi;
Why does this send me a blank email when the file has information??
>>>
#!/usr/bin/python
import cgi, os
import string
import smtplib
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
file = open("outfile.txt", "r")
line = file.readline()
file.close()
server = smtplib.SMTP("localhost")
server.sendmail("beno at thewebsons.com", "beno at thewebsons.com", line)
server.quit()
<<<
...when *this* will send me an email with the word *line*...
>>>
#!/usr/bin/python
import cgi, os
import string
import smtplib
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
file = open("outfile.txt", "r")
line = file.readline()
file.close()
server = smtplib.SMTP("localhost")
server.sendmail("beno at thewebsons.com", "beno at thewebsons.com", "line") #
note the only difference is here
server.quit()
<<<
...and *this* will print the entire contents of the file to the screen (and
send me a blank email)???
>>>
#!/usr/bin/python
import cgi, os
import string
import smtplib
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
file = open("outfile.txt", "r")
line = file.readline()
file.close()
print line #### note this is the only additional line
server = smtplib.SMTP("localhost")
server.sendmail("beno at thewebsons.com", "beno at thewebsons.com", line)
server.quit()
<<<
PLEASE point out what small, stupid error I'm not seeing!
TIA,
BenO
