I have a backup log file from robocopy and would like to take last lines from that file and send it as email body.
Log example:
Total Copied Skipped Mismatch FAILED Extras
Dirs : 85262 85257 1 0 4 0
Files : 637048 637047 0 0 1 0
Bytes :1558.929 g1558.929 g 0 0 165 0
Times : 19:30:49 19:01:06 0:00:00 0:29:43
Speed : 24448224 Bytes/sec.
Speed : 1398.938 MegaBytes/min.
Ended : Wed Sep 21 15:42:01 2011
Script code:
$report2_tail = Get-Content .\backup2.log )[-12 .. -1]
$encoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
Send-mailmessage -Smtpserver smtp.server.address -encoding $encoding -from "Backup-Replication<backup@mm.com>" -to "mm@mm.com" -subject "End of Replication Report" -body "
backup Replication Report
------------------------------------------------------------
$report2_tail
"
Script works fine but the message body is in one line and looks like this:
Total Copied Skipped Mismatch FAILED Extras Dirs : 85262 85257 1 0 4 0 Files : 637048 637047 0 0 1 0 Bytes :1558.929 g1558.929 g 0 0 165 0 Times : 19:30:49 19:01:06 0:00:00 0:29:43 Speed : 24448224 Bytes/sec. Speed : 1398.938 MegaBytes/min. Ended : Wed Sep 21 15:42:01 2011
What is a best way to solve the problem ?
Regards
Marcin
