Powershell script that will send an email with a specific attachment file

Hello

I have a partly powershell script that sends an email from a csv file that contains email addresses

However, i need to extend this powershell script that will do the following:-

I have a folder that contains the following files:-

nbs-royal.pdf
nbs-coral.pdf
nbs-corporate.pdf

So what should happen is:-

a) I need to search the folders for files called *.royal.pdf, *.coral-pdf, *.corporate.pdf
b) once these files are found, the files should be sent indvidually to three seperate emails as attachment, as follows:-

nbs-royal.pdf file should be sent to royal@co.uk
nbs-coral.pdf should be sent to coral@co.uk
nbs-corporate.pdf should be sent to corporate@co.uk

Thanks

A batch file will not work for you? I used a batch file based system for years.

There is an example here

Send an email with an attachment to two users and BCC another:

C:\PS> send-mailmessage -from "me@example.com" -to "user01@example.com", "user02@example.com" -bcc helpdesk@example.com -subject "Hello World" -body "See attachment below." -Attachment "data.csv" -smtpServer smtp.example.com

Easy enough.. something like this should do it for you..

$RoyalSMTPTo = 'royal@co.uk'
$RoyalSMTPSubject = 'Located NBS-Royal.pdf'

$CoralSMTPTo = 'coral@co.uk'
$CoralSMTPSubject = 'Located NBS-Coral.pdf'

$CorpSMTPTo = 'corporate@co.uk'
$CorpSMTPSubject = 'Located NBS-Corporate.pdf'

$SMTPServer = 'smtp.co.uk'

$Royal = get-childitem -path c:\* -include "*royal.pdf"
$Coral = get-childitem -path c:\* -include "*coral.pdf"
$Corp = get-childitem -path c:\* -include "*corporate.pdf"

$RoyalBody = "Attached is/are the file(s):`r`n"
foreach ($file in $royal)
{
     $RoyalBody += "$($file.FullName)`r`n"
}
send-mailmessage -To $RoyalSMTPTo -From 'NBS-PDFScript@co.uk' -SMTPServer -Attachment $Royal -Body $RoyalBody  -Subject $RoyalSMTPSubject

$CoralBody = "Attached is/are the file(s):`r`n"
foreach ($file in $Coral)
{
     $CoralBody += "$($file.FullName)`r`n"
}
send-mailmessage -To $CoralSMTPTo -From 'NBS-PDFScript@co.uk' -SMTPServer -Attachment $Coral -Body $CoralBody  -Subject $CoralSMTPSubject

$CorpBody = "Attached is/are the file(s):`r`n"
foreach ($file in $Corp)
{
     $CorpBody += "$($file.FullName)`r`n"
}
send-mailmessage -To $CorpSMTPTo -From 'NBS-PDFScript@co.uk' -SMTPServer -Attachment $Corp -Body $CorpBody  -Subject $CorpSMTPSubject
