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.

Notepad++ convert multiple lines to a single line and vice versa

Notepad++ is an awesome text editing tool, it can accept regex to process the text data. If the data is in a “.csv” format or comma separated values which is basically just a text file that can either be opened using a text editor, excel or even word. Notepad++ can process the contents of the file using regex. Example if the data has multiple rows or lines, and what is needed is to convert the whole lines of data into a single line. Notepad++ can easily do it using regex. However, if the data is on a single line and it needs to be converted into multiple lines or rows then regex can also be used for this case. Here’s an example on how to convert multiple rows or lines into a single line. Example data: Multiple rows, just a sample data. Press Ctrl+H, and  on "Find what" type: [\r\n]+ and on "Replace with" type with: , (white space) --white space is needed if need to have a space in between the data.

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.
