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. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    //  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.

    let email = CkoEmail()!

    email.subject = "Email with a string attachment"
    email.body = "See the attached CSV file."
    email.from = "mary@example.com"
    email.add(to: "Joe", emailAddress: "joe@example.com")

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

    //  Add the string as an attachment named "people.csv".
    email.addStringAttachment(fileName: "people.csv", str: csvData)

    //  Show the full MIME of the email, which now includes the attachment.
    print("\(email.getMime()!)")
