Add a String Attachment to an Email

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email object's AddStringAttachment method, which adds an attachment directly from an in-memory string — no file needs to exist on disk. The 1st argument is the filename that is written into the MIME (it is not a path to a file that is read), and the 2nd argument is the text that becomes the attachment's body. In this example we build a simple email, attach a small CSV file named people.csv straight from a string, and then print the resulting MIME so you can see the attachment embedded in the message. Go

    //  This example demonstrates the Email object's AddStringAttachment method.
    //  AddStringAttachment adds an attachment directly from an in-memory string.
    //  The 1st argument is the filename to be placed in the MIME (not a file to be read).
    //  The 2nd argument is the text content that becomes the attachment body.

    email := chilkat.NewEmail()

    email.SetSubject("Email with a string attachment")
    email.SetBody("See the attached CSV file.")
    email.SetFrom("mary@example.com")
    email.AddTo("Joe","joe@example.com")

    //  The text content of the attachment.
    csvData := "id,name\r\n1,Alice\r\n2,Bob\r\n"

    //  Add the string as an attachment named "people.csv".
    email.AddStringAttachment("people.csv",csvData)

    //  Show the full MIME of the email, which now includes the attachment.
    fmt.Println(*email.GetMime())

    email.DisposeEmail()
