Andrew 0 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 This may be a stupid question but I have a script that writes data to a text file which is later written to an email and sent. As it is right now it's all plain text; I would like to embed some control characters in the file in order to make the email more readable when it's sent (bolded/italic titles, etc.) Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Juvigy 50 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 You can send the text file as HTML (via outlook) so you can put tags liek "<BR>" , "<Font size=10>" etc. in the text file. For example if you send to outlook as html the following: "asdasd<BR>asdasd <BR>teet" in outlook it will look like asdasd asdasd teet Link to post Share on other sites

For example if you send to outlook as html the following: "asdasd<BR>asdasd <BR>teet" in outlook it will look like asdasd asdasd teet That won't work for me as the file must retain it's original text format (tabs, whitespace, etc). If I was to change to html, I would have to add html tags for everything in the file (br, p, etc) and I can't see doing that at this time. As it is right now, everyting is perfect using RTF with exception of my desire to add bolded and/or italic text at some specific places. Seems like I recall seeing somewhere how to embed ascii control sequences for doing this but I can't seem to find it -- especially for these two formatting features. Thanks for responding.
