How Do I Email .txt Files?

Post subject:  How Do I Email .txt Files?
I was wondering how would I be able to email information using Turing. Here is my code:


var file : int
var ch : char
loop
if hasch then
ch := getchar
put ch ..
open : file, "typed_stuff.txt", put, mod, seek
seek : file, *
put : file, ch ..
close : file
end if
end loop


I want to email the typed_stuff.txt to my email.

I'm pretty sure you'll have to know the SMTP protocol. Check out Wikipedia's article on SMTP.

Could you translate that into a block of Turing code and display it here please =) I'll love you so much if you do.

No, that would be doing the work for you. You're going to have to learn it yourself, though I'm sure you'll be able to get help from various people. It won't be too difficult using Turing's Net module.

Im not asking for you to do it for me . I said "please help". I researched and read for like half an hour on all this emailing stuff that didn't help me. I can open a new connection, but not with gmail or hotmail! It gives me an error when I read the page. I didn't think it would be this hard. Is there like a command like, "Net.SendData("file.txt") to Server(gmail.com) @ email address (102.15.66.104) or something!

Just look at the Turing Help file under 'Net'.

Turing Reference wrote:

WaitForConnection Waits until a client connects to a specified port.
OpenConnection Opens a connection to a specified machine.
OpenURLConnection Opens a connection to a file specified by a URL.
CloseConnection Closes a specified connection.
BytesAvailable Returns the number of bytes available to be read from a net stream.
CharAvailable Returns true if there is a character available to be read from a net stream.
LineAvailable Returns true if there is a line of text available to be read from a net stream.
TokenAvailable Returns true if there is a token available to be read from a net stream.
HostAddressFromName Returns a host's address given its host name.
HostNameFromAddress Returns a host's name given its address.
LocalAddress Returns the host name of the local machine.
LocalName Returns the TCP/IP address of the local machine.

None of those look like a Net.SendData or Net.SendFile.
So, no.

Half an hour isn't very long. You should do some more research. We've pointed you in the right direction; you've got to take a step for yourself.

Out of curiosity, I implemented SMTP in Turing, so now you definately know it's possible. Wink As long as you read up on what to do and know how to send data (not files) using the Net module it's really easy, though different servers handle things a bit differently so you might have to do some modifying.

Anyway, what I wanted to point out is that you won't be connecting to gmail.com. You will find all the info/links you need on the wikipedia article Cervantes pointed out, including server and port.

Finally, if you don't already, you should know how to use file I/O before using it on a Net stream.

So what could I send data to? If I can't send to gmail, what about hotmail? Or what about Thunderbird or Outlook Express?

I'm kinda giving up right now on emailing through Turing because the way I learn is by watching others do it. I tired on my own and my teacher can't help me because he never uses Net. All I need is some small sample code to start off with that I can build on or something. I can do Net.OpenCOnnection, Net.WaitForConnection, and some other things when my friend is running it too, like Net.BytesAvailiable etc. But none of that works when I try to connect to a website.

Like I said, read the wikipedia article Cervantes linked to, you'll find the information there. You can still send emails to gmail, what I was saying is that you don't connect to gmail.com.

I'll try helping you out more if you can tell me what port and server to connect to first (for whatever SMTP server you want).

Ok I just re-read that article for like the fourth time and don't like understand a word of it. Maybe I have ADD or something.

Quote:

C: HELO mydomain.com
S: 250 Hello mydomain.com
C: MAIL FROM:<sender@mydomain.com>
S: 250 Ok
C: RCPT TO:<friend@example.com>
S: 250 Ok
C: DATA
S: 354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
C: Subject: test message
C: From: sender@mydomain.com

C: Hello,
C: This is a test.
C: Goodbye.
C: .
S: 250 Ok: queued as 12345

Please don't post 3 times in 2 minutes when it could all be in the one post. I've cleaned that up.

That would be the dialogue between server (S) and client (C).

To send an email with Turing, you'd have to open a connection to the SMTP server and follow that SMTP protocol. Try to mimick that dialogue that is given.

Well the edit button was disabled in the Turing Help section because of people getting the help they needed then editing their posts to make them not look as stupid, or something of that regards. And I didn't feel like copying, deleting, then re-posting.

And when I posted multiple times within 3 minutes, I thought of something more to add on to be more specific Very Happy

To mimic that dialogue using Turing, I'll try my best here:

code:

var stream := Net.OpenConnection ("www.gmail.com", 25)
put : stream, "Hello www.gmail.com"


Am I on the right track so far? And do I have to learn Net.TokenAvaliable or something? Turing talks nothing about SMTP Protocol and I don't understand how to interpret it to Turing.

Notice in the quote you posted it used "HELO" not "Hello".
Also, you didn't get the first (220) line from the server.

I don't know if you'll need Net.TokenAvailable. Keep trying.

Oh sorry. It was confusing cause it kept saying Hello, I didn't notice one 'L' was missing. And you said I need to get a line? Would that be like this?

code:

var line : message
var stream := Net.OpenConnection ("www.gmail.com", 25)
put : stream, "Hello www.gmail.com"
get : netstream, line

Not quite. You open the connection, then the server sends a line, then you send the "HELO" line. So the get line would have to go before the put line.

Ok, so far it seems cool.
code:

var line, URL : string
colour (13)
put "Enter a website: " ..
colour (green)
get URL
colour (black)
put "Connecting to " ..
colour (42)
put URL
var stream := Net.OpenConnection (URL, 25)
if stream = -10 then
    colour (brightred)
    put "Connection Failed!"
    return
end if
get : stream, line
colour (104)
put "Found line " ..
colour (150)
put line

When I try to connect to "www.gmail.ca", it returns "Connection Failed". But if I type "www.goolge.ca", it returns 220. If you test this and enter www.putfile.com, it gives "220-mainconnect2.putfile.com" for some reason.

vahnx, I've already told you... You're not going to be connecting directly to gmail.com to send a email to an @gmail.com e-mail address. You're going to be connecting to their smtp server, which you can find on that wikipedia article.

Other than that you just need to imitate the client portion of that dialogue, and recieve the server output.

A) I think you can.
B) If someone is interested in doing this, they will. Realize that it takes some time to help you with this, because most of us haven't dabbled with the SMTP protocol ourselves. You're the first to do this with Turing. You're a pioneer.

Well, you're not a pioneer yet. You haven't done it yet. So get that brain cracking. Do it yourself and you'll have something to be proud of.

Don't be afraid to look for resources other than wikipedia. Don't be afraid to look at code in other languages.

/me sighs but refrains from contradicting Cervantes.

vahnx, you send it the client parts of a "conversation" between SMTP client and server. As shown in the dialogue in that Wikipedia article, you have to follow the protocol and send the right messages. You can get a lot more from that article than what the acronym stands for...

And I will tell you for the fourth time, you will not be connecting the gmail.com as per:
code:
var stream := Net.OpenConnection ("www.gmail.com", 25)

You will be connecting to the Google smtp server.

To recieve more help, show me that you can actually learn something without it being handed right to you, and ask specific questions.

ok through some more research i got my program to connect to the smtp server, login with base64 encoded, it tells the smtp server who it's from and who to send it to. after that it tells me to write the body of the e-mail, i put in a messgae and i get an error after i'm done, the smtp server giving me a link and on the web site it says the problem is that i'm sending bare LF. and it needs to be in crlf format. How can i fix this?

This is the link it gave me http://cr.yp.to/docs/smtplf.html

Try this then...

1. Telnet into an smtp service running from wherever you can find one. (most server admins don't lock this off, so you should be able to find an open one in your first google search)

2. Start messing with commands. Apply the knowledge you gained from reading the above postings about protocol and start sending mail to yourself.
Just as the dialogue that was posted earlier, do it in telnet using either the windows telnet client or putty (using RAW formatting)

3. Once you figure out how to successfully send mail via smtp over telnet then you simply have to design your application to automate everything you did by hand.


You don't know enough about the problem yet to design a successful solution.

I haven't used turing since I learned a real language, but read an ascii chart and find out the ascii code for both cr and lf
You should have an ascii chart bookmarked in your browser if you're a coder...otherwise copy it into a text file somewhere

...otherwise, most languages allow you to append \r\n to your string variable for carriage return and linefeed

Yes. Have you still not read the wikipedia article for SMTP? They even have a sample telnet session for connecting to a server and sending an email.

vahnx wrote:

Well, it's Turing, so yes. But I wouldn't advise learning a new language learning a new language with the intention of making this program. Learn the language for the sake of learning the language; don't rush it.
Anyway, you've already got the built in net commands in Turing, so that's one good thing.

vahnx wrote:

Yes. It's been discussed a few times in the past. One solution is to take the time to think about what you want to say in your post instead of firing off a sentence like it's an instant message. Also hitting preview. A few extra seconds before posting can sometimes be enough to remind you of some point you missed.

How are you supposed to automate an email client when you don't know how to send email manually??

I can't tell if you are new to programming, or if you just don't have a problem solver's mindset...but as I stated before, you need to research your problem before you can even begin to develop any sort of solution.

Programmers are problem solvers. Thats what we do...and in order to solve the problem, you first have to understand said problem. Real developers do not run by the seat of their pants.

Have you ever heard of systems analysis and design?
...How about R.A.D.I.T?
Research
Analyze
Design
Implement
Test
...How about the systems development lifecycle?
Do you know what a Usecase diagram is? Class diagrams? CRC Cards? Flowcharts? Statecharts? Sequence Diagrams?

There are certain steps you need to take in order to effectively solve a problem, whether it be a program or any other sort of problem.

Ok...let me spell this out for you step by step
(I will even use your own post so you understand)

For reference
---------------
C: == Client side comand (you type this...without the CSmile
:\> == cmd shell message
---------------

Open a cmd shell.
To do this, click 'start' >> 'run' >> type 'cmd' and press enter

Now hopefully you've followed me thus far...you should have cmd shell open.
code:
:\> telnet www.compsci.ca 25

This means: telnet to host 'www.compsci.ca' on port 25 (SMTP port)
You should be greeted with the following message:
code:
220 larchmont.dreamhost.com ESMTP

This is a successful connection greeting.
Now you must Identify yourself with the HELO command:
code:
C: HELO mydomain.com

A successful identification will result in a 250 return message...
...like the following:
code:
250 larchmont.dreamhost.com

Now you must identify the sender with the MAIL FROM: command:
code:

A successful response again is a 250
...like the following:
code:
250 Ok

Now you must identify the recipient with the RCPT TO: command:
code:
C: RCPT TO: friend@example.com

A successful respose again is a 250
...like the following: (NOTE compsci does not allow rela access)
code:
250 Ok

Now that you have your sender and your recipient identified, you can enter data with the DATA command:
code:
C: DATA

A successful response here will be indicated by a 354 response:
code:
354 Go ahead

Now enter your message and end it with a '.' on the final line by itself
code:
C: Subject: test message
C: From: sender@mydomain.com
C: To: friend@example.com
C:
C: Hello,
C: This is a test.
C: Goodbye.
C: .

A successful message will give you a 250 respose once again and probably give you a queue number of the message.
code:
250 Ok: queued as 12345

Now use the QUIT command to exit the telnet session and send the message
code:
C: QUIT

...and the server will say goodbye to you with a 221 code
code:
221 Bye

you should now be back at the cmd prompt
code:
:\>


Now you should at least understand the steps required to complete an email by hand through telnet...look it up at a couple more websites and find out how to add extra data (ex. SUBJECT)

Once again....'C:' means that it's a client command which you input to the console. If you make a typing mistake, just press enter, as a backspace character will fuck shit up and even though your input might look right, it will not be accepted. REMEMBER: any backspace (not delete...) will alter your screen, but it actually appends a backspace character to the command.

compsci.ca SMTP server will not allow sending of messages...so try a couple other hosts for a successful message.

if you still don't understand then you're in WAY over your head right now

Cervantes, what do you mean by do it for me . Like I said, I don't know much about what all you guys are talking about. The above guide is talking about the Command Prompt, which has nothing to do with Turing that I know of. Is there a way I can use Turing to access the command prompt? Is that how I have to do it? This is a Turing help forum and I'm just asking for help, not for someone to do it for me! If I am doing this do I have to use Net.OpenConnection or what kinda commands will I have to use?

I reviewed some previous posts saying I have to get data from a stream I believe with "telenet,25", but I don't understand what that means fully. Like 25 is the email port, like 5055 is for MSN or something, and 80 is the inernet. I understand that part. BTW this isn't for a school project, I wish to see if I am able to send a message to my gmail account using Turing. Like
"Subject: Hello" then the message, like a normal email. Or sending one of my jpegs or what my title says, a ".txt" file so I can download it as an attachment from my GMail account.

Before school ended, I asked my teacher and he had no clue. But I think it is possible to do what I'm asking. I am new to Turing and have a small ammount of experience with Net. I've been trying for over a month I believe now, but I will keep trying this telenet thing.

r.3volved, I now understand it more. But I am not getting a response from www.compsci.ca when I :\> telnet www.compsci.ca 25. And I know how to access the command prompt, I sometimes run Netstat commands just to see what's going on.

Ok now it just worked, maybe I was typing it in wrong. Ok Ill continue reading more.. Wait, I exited and tried again. Sometimes do you have to type in the telnet multiple times for it to work?

Aha I got connected again easier by first typing telenet, then typing o www.compsci.ca 25. So after telenet you must press enter.

/me sighs and tries his best not to explode.

vahnx, thanks for that quintuple post, it does us all a lot of good. Keep it up.

Now, I will point out that it is possible. How many times does something have to be confirmed before you believe it? I've personally done it. Yes, in Turing. Guess what? I had only used the Net module once before then, to implement the IRC protocol. When I was doing that, I simply read through the IRC specifications, skimmed through each of the Net functions, and was well on my way. Sure, you will experience problems, but you must learn to solve them! You've already recieved tons of help, so it should be easier for you.

What r.3volved posted is exactly what you should be sending, using the Net module, through Turing. Nothing to do with the command prompt. Only difference between what you'll be doing in Turing and what you do in the command prompt is that you'll be opening the connection using Net.OpenConnection() not through telnet.

If this is all just that far beyond you, learn something else before doing this. After all, learning teaches you to learn better afterwards.

Not my fault I couldn't edit my last posts (even though no one posted after them).

Ok, this is cool so far now that I kinda get it. And i must learn to solve them? Every other question I asked on this website was answered in 1 post thanks to the help of those people. I don't know why it's taking so long to get help for this 1 problem I am having? Is it really that hard? I will continue trying to do it later on today... Hence it's 4:15AM and still cannot do it yet.

I find it extremely sad that you still think you're right.

omg

when you connect in telnet like that you are sending raw data
that means that the messages you send in telnet should be sent in your turing app.

Have you ever made a networked application before?
Stick to pong games and someone lock this thread already.

As I said, you're in way over your head...you got a shit load of learning to do before you have any chance at this.

Don't even go there vahnx. Seriously, that argument has been resolved dozens of times before. This is now just flaming.

Why are you whining? Honestly, why? Yes you must learn to solve this - why else would you want to ask for help other than to learn something new? And yes this is obviously "that hard" considering how long it's taken you not to get this, despite having it spelt out for you numerous times. It's great that you've started making head way - but the fact that you can't take either critisism or set backs is working entirely against you.
You have gotten more than enough help on this topic. This is now just a "do it for me" plea, hence following Cervantes' warning, this thread is locked.
