Hi There,

I am using a foreach loop, how can I use the items to send in one email instead of send an email for each item?

Regards.
 
Since you ask that general, assume you have this (pseudo code):

[pre]foreach(item in items) sendmail(item);[/pre]

If you don't want to send a mail per item, then the simple solution is not to do it in the loop, but after the loop.

[pre]foreach(item in items) addtomailbody(item);
sendmail(mailbody);[/pre]

So you have to define a variable for the mailbody, in which you add line for line, paragraph for paragraph, and finally just send this whole text once.

If you have such a problem with simple program flow, you shouldn't do programming. Seriously.

Bye, Olaf.
 
Thanks olaf,

Thanks a mil.
