PowerShell send csv content via email


A simple PowerShell code snippet to send contents of a csv file to an email.

It can be used to send a reminder with the contents type on the csv file. 

 The code below can also be used to send reminders to customer or promotion emails which only need text files.

Or got logs on a server or applications, but the code below will need to be modified to follow the format of the logs.

The code below requires PS 5.0.

Tweak the code to suit CSV format; format used below is for demo purposes.

From what I observed PowerShell reads the code from the last column with contents to the first column of the excel sheet.

The code below uses this CSV format.

Highlighted text below is column headers in the CSV file, which is defined as an array on PowerShell script.

Tox Subjectx Bodyx
user1_tech@myemail.com PC Reminder Turn off PC @ 5PM
user2_tech@myemail.com Server Reminder Reboot Server @ 12:30am

From above contents of CSV, PowerShell is able to send out multiple emails and contents base on the data on the CSV.

If  the CSV on multiple rows contains different email addresses and contents, PowerShell will loop thru all the rows and send the email one by one.

Quite useful if need to send different notifications to multiple email accounts.

Code below is able to send to multiple email to the email accounts  on a CSV file, the PowerShell will just loop through all the  "Tox" column which has the list of recipients and the code below will send an email up to the last content of the "Tox" column.

The CSV file should have this formatting:

First row and first row "Tox"
First row  and second column "Subjectx"
First row and third column "Bodyx"

Here’s the PowerShell code to send email:

==================================
 

 $Tox = @()
$Subjectx = @()
$Bodyx = @()

 $emailaddress = "alertnotification@domain.com"

 $password = "PASSWORD-Alert@Server2020" | convertto-securestring -AsPlainText -Force

 $credos = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $emailaddress, $password

 $port = "587"
$smtp = "smtp.office365.com"

Import-Csv d:\csv_file\csv_email_reminder.csv |`
    ForEach-Object {
        $Tox += $_.Tox
        $Subjectx += $_."Subjectx"
        $Bodyx += $_."Bodyx"
    }

    #Adjust the loop to the number of rows in CSV file
    for($i=0
     $i -le 1
     $i++){
     
 
   #Display the email being sent
    Write-Host "Customer Tox: " $Tox[$i]
    Write-Host "Subjectx: " $Subjectx[$i]
    Write-Host "Bodyx: " $Bodyx[$i]

send-mailmessage -Port $port -to  $Tox[$i]  -from  $Tox[$i] -subject  $Subjectx[$i] -body  $Bodyx[$i] -smtpServer $smtp -UseSsl $True -Credential $credos

  }

==================================

Cheers..hope it helps.

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...

WMIC get computer name

WMIC get computer model, manufacturer, computer name and  username. WMIC is a command-line tool and that can generate information about computer model, its manufacturer, its username and other informations depending on the parameters provided. Why would you need a command line tool if there’s a GUI to check? If you have 20 or 100 computers, or even more. It’s quite a big task just checking the GUI to check the computer model and username. If you have remote computers, you need to delegate someone in the remote office or location to check. Or you can just write a batch file or script to automate the task. Here’s the code below on how get computer model, manufacturer and the username. Open an elevated command prompt and type:     wmic computersystem get "Model","Manufacturer", "Name", "UserName" Just copy and paste the code above, the word “computersystem” does not need to be change to a computer name.

Delete Directories with Wildcards using rd or rmdir

  Deleting files in command prompt using wildcards is quite straight forward. Command below will delete all text (".txt") files on the specified path.      Del D:\txtlog\*.txt Command above will delete all files with ".txt" extension in d:\txtlog directory. Easy enough to delete all matching files. Using the same method with rmdir or rd command this will not work. For example, if we have a directory on d drive that is auto-generated by an application and the filename is consistent with a pattern plus incrementing number at the end to differentiate the folder from other folders.    D:\baklogs\log1\    D:\baklogs\log2\    D:\baklogs\log3\    Etc..    D:\baklogs\log100\ The folder name has a consistent pattern that is preceded by the word “log” plus incrementing number. If the command below is executed to remove the directories in one go, an error is shown which h...
