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.

import com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.Email;

public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // 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 email = new Email();

        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.
        String 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.
        System.out.println(email.getMime());
    }
