AutoIt Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Get the text body content of a MIME part.

See more MIME Examples

Explains and demonstrates the GetBodyEncoded and GetBodyDecoded methods. This example uses the MIME test data located at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/sampleMime1.txt

The sampleMime1.txt contains:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
 boundary="------------070404010201060604000708";

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8";

;  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
;  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$oMime = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Mime")

;  Load the sampleMime1.txt file into the MIME object.
;  (This file is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/sampleMime1.txt )

$bSuccess = $oMime.LoadMimeFile("sampleMime1.txt")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oMime.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  The sampleMime1.txt is a MIME document with a top-level 
;  multipart/mixed containing 3 sub-parts, each of which has the 
;  same body text but with different content-transfer-encodings and 
;  using different character encodings (utf-8 and iso-8859-1).

;  Calling mime.GetBodyEncoded or mime.GetBodyDecoded on the 
;  top-level multipart/mixed MIME object will return an empty string.
;  It is because the "body" of a multipart MIME object is always empty.
;  A multipart MIME object contains sub-parts (each a MIME object),
;  and it is only the leaf-objects that can have non-empty bodies.

;  Get GetBodyDecoded method returns the body text decoded
;  from whatever the content-transfer-encoding may be, and
;  converted from whatever charset encoding might be used.
;  In this case, calling GetBodyDecoded on each of the three
;  sub-parts will return the same string.
;  To demonstrate:
$oPart1 = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Mime")
$bSuccess = $oMime.PartAt(0,$oPart1)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oMime.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite($oPart1.GetBodyDecoded() & @CRLF)

$oPart2 = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Mime")
$bSuccess = $oMime.PartAt(1,$oPart2)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oMime.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite($oPart2.GetBodyDecoded() & @CRLF)

$oPart3 = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Mime")

If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oMime.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite($oPart3.GetBodyDecoded() & @CRLF)

;  The GetBodyEncoded method will NOT decode from 
;  whatever content-transfer-encoding is used.  However, it will
;  convert from whatever internal character encoding
;  may be used to return a string appropriate for the calling
;  programming language (for example, in .NET or any language
;  using ActiveX, all strings are Unicode..)
