From the constraints, I don't see why you check the day and time. You
only have want to send the document in each line to the corresponding
e-mail address. Here is an awk example:

$ awk -F ' ' '{ system(" mail -a " $1 " -s " $2 " " $3 " < /dev/null
") }' /tmp/myfile.txt > /dev/null

So, why maintain the list in a single file? How do you populate that
file, and how often is it done?

I want to manage single file as configuration file, if any body wants his file at some particular time who don't know scripting he just need to edit this file and one line with his file path, email Id and day-time on which he needs his file to be send to him.

Sorry, but, your terminology is very confusing. You are using the file
as a log file, that changes w.r.t. time. A configuration file is for
an application/service that has settings information, and shouldn't be
changed, unless required. All resource stakeholders who are using the
service/application must be notified before the change.

People who don't know scripting shouldn't touch configuration files :)

Edit the file, manually! How do you protect from not removing some one
else's entries?

Please don't call it 'day-time'. You only have a weekday and a time.
How does anyone know which month, year it is from?

Date-time is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS. For example, 2010-03-05 13:32:00,
means March 5, 2010 at 1:32 PM from the systems' timezone. You also
have to think about timezone!

I suggest you analyze all the above, and refine your requirements. It
would also help if you give us the big picture as to what you are
trying to do, rather than making lot of assumptions like the above.

Hi,

I have written little PERL code for you in hurry.

You can use this ->
i) Copy and paste PERL code in a file. Let say, in hehe.pl

ii) Make it executable and execute like this - ./hehe.pl filename.txt

Code is begin from here ->

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# By HeHe

#

use strict;
use Mail::Send;

open FILE, "<$ARGV[0]";

my ($FilePath, $DayTime, $Email);

while (my $Line = <FILE>) {

if ($Line =~ /(.+)\s(\w{3}\-\d{1,2})\s(.+)/m) {

                $FilePath = $1;
                $DayTime = $2;
                $Email = $3;
        }

        if ($DayTime eq 'FRI-18' or $DayTime eq 'SAT-10') {
                &SendMail($FilePath, $Email);

        }
}

close FILE;

sub SendMail($;$) {
        my $Command = 'echo "Hey, Message from HeHe" | mutt -s "HeHe Mssg" -a '.$_[0].' '.$_[1];

        if (system($Command)) {

                return 1;
        } else {
                return 0;
        }
}

< - Code is over here

But i have used here system mutt binary for sending mail you can replace mail sending procedure via Mail::Send module.

Please let me know if you have any doubt in this code.

Enjoy,,,,,, :-)

Thanks
Pankaj

Always check for return status! or die "Cannot open file: $!\n"

That is not what the OP asked for! It has to be for any date and time.

---
| &SendMail($FilePath, $Email);
\--

E-mail has to be sent only on that specific date, and time. With the
above script, how often do you intend to run the script? If you have
already sent an e-mail, and if you re-run the script, it will send
duplicate e-mails.
