Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

var email = new CkEmail();

// Load an email object containing attachments.
// This .eml can be downloaded from:
// http://www.example-code.com/testData/HtmlEmail.eml

success = email.LoadEml("HtmlEmail.eml");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(email.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// If OverwriteExisting is turned on, files with the same
// name are overwritten.  If turned off, new/unique filenames
// are automatically generated.  The filenames actually saved
// are accessible via the GetAttachmentFilename method.
email.OverwriteExisting = true;

// Save all attachments to the "myAttachments" subdirectory
// found under the calling process's current working directory.
// This directory is automatically created if it does not already
// exist.
success = email.SaveAllAttachments("myAttachments");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(email.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// List the attachment filenames:
var i;
for (i = 0; i <= email.NumAttachments - 1; i++) {
    console.log(email.GetAttachmentFilename(i));
