Hi,
I receive a .DAT file as an attachment once or twice a day in my
Are this the winmail.dat files or does the Files
have each time differen names you get a message?
If it is the first one ("winmail.dat"), you need to rename it using
'date +s%' for example:
----8<----------------------------------------------------------
:0 i
* ^To:(_dot_)*mandeep(_at_)somedomaine(_dot_)tld
* ^Content-Type:.*multipart/mixed
* B ?? filename=winmail\.dat
|/path/to/your/script
----8<----------------------------------------------------------
1) it check for the right E-mail address
2) check whether the message is a multipart/mixed
3) check whether in teh BODY of the message is a
"filename=.*\.dat" string
4) and if the above three conditions are true,
pipe the Message through the script
And then in your script you write:
----8<----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# because 'munpack' extract all Files of a message we create
# a temporary directory where we can extract our stuff
mkdir -p /tmp/mandeep
# Make it read/write only to us as owner
chmod 700 /tmp/mandeep
# now we pipe the Message through 'munpack' which decode the
# files into our temporary directory
cat /dev/stdin |/usr/bin/munpack -q -C /tmp/mandeep/
# now we move the winmail.dat to our final destination with
# a new name
mv /tmp/mandeep/winmail.dat $HOME/.dat/`date +%s`.dat
# finaly we remove the temporary directory with its content
rm -rf /tmp/mandeep
----8<----------------------------------------------------------
Thats all, if you receive only those WINMAIL.DAT files from a
Windows-Box.
If you get *.dat files with an uniq name, you should:
----8<----------------------------------------------------------
:0 i
* ^To:(_dot_)*mandeep(_at_)somedomaine(_dot_)tld
* ^Content-Type:.*multipart/mixed
* B ?? filename=.*\.dat
|/path/to/your/script
----8<----------------------------------------------------------
and for the script
----8<----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# because 'munpack' extract all Files of a message we create
# a temporary directory where we can extract our stuff
mkdir -p /tmp/mandeep
# Make it read/write only to us as owner
chmod 700 /tmp/mandeep
# now we pipe the Message through 'munpack' which decode the
# files into our temporary directory
cat /dev/stdin |/usr/bin/munpack -q -C /tmp/mandeep/
# now we move the *.dat file(s) to our final destination
mv /tmp/mandeep/*.dat $HOME/.dat/
# finaly we remove the temporary directory with its content
rm -rf /tmp/mandeep
----8<----------------------------------------------------------
