6 Data Import and Export
Once you have properly configured MATLAB, you can use the sendmail
function. The sendmail function requires at least two arguments: the
recipient’s e-mail address and the e-mail subject:
sendmail('recepient@someserver.com', 'Hello From MATLAB!');
You can supply multiple e-mail addresses using a cell array of strings, such as:
sendmail({'recepient@someserver.com', ...
'recepient2@someserver.com'}, 'Hello From MATLAB!');
You can also specify a message body with the sendmail function, such as:
sendmail('recepient@someserver.com', 'Hello From MATLAB!', ...
'Thanks for using sendmail.');
In addition, you can also attach files to an e-mail using the sendmail function,
such as:
sendmail('recepient@somesever.com', 'Hello from MATLAB!', ...
'Thanks for using sendmail.', 'C:\yourFileSystem\message.txt');
You cannot attach a file without including a message. However, the message
can be empty. You can also attach multiple files to an e-mail with the
sendmail function, such as:
sendmail('recepient@somesever.com', 'Hello from MATLAB!', ...
'Thanks for using sendmail.', ...
{'C:\yourFileSystem\message.txt',...
'C:\yourFileSystem\message2.txt'});
