For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training. We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.
Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!
I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here)) |
Sending awkward characters by email in Perl
Carrying on from the email work I described in a recent article, I wrote an example today in Perl where I used the mailx program to send an email, piping to it in a system call via an echo.
For a one-liner, without special characters in the text, this is easy ... but to get echo to pass through all characters including the " delimiter and new lines took a bit more effort - but we did manage in the end with an absurdly easy looking piece of code - see here. There's an extended example, with the emial being routed to different addressed depending on its content, here.
Final - and off topic - example for today. Formatting in Perl with (s)printf. Did you know you can use "b" for binary? Example - and more formatted printing - here (written 2009-06-12)
