(Ruby) Set the Email Date Header to the Current System Date/TimeDemonstrates how to set the Date header field of an email to the computer's current date/time. Note: When an email object is instantiated, the Date header field is automatically added and initialized to the current system date/time. The need to explicitly set the Date header could arise when loading an email from a .eml.
require 'chilkat' email = Chilkat::CkEmail.new() # At this point, a new email object has been instantiated, and it # already has a Date header field containing the current date/time. print "Date: " + email.emailDateStr() + "\n"; # We can also get the Date header like this: print "Date: " + email.getHeaderField("Date") + "\n"; # Load a .eml into the email object: success = email.LoadEml("myEmlFiles/someEmail.eml") if (success != true) print email.lastErrorText() + "\n"; exit end # Show the Date that was in the .eml print "Date: " + email.emailDateStr() + "\n"; # Now the Date header contains whatever was in the .eml # Let's update it to the current system date/time.. dateTime = Chilkat::CkDateTime.new() dateTime.SetFromCurrentSystemTime() success = email.SetDt(dateTime) if (success != true) print email.lastErrorText() + "\n"; exit end # Now show that the Date is the current system time: print "Date: " + email.emailDateStr() + "\n"; print "Date: " + email.getHeaderField("Date") + "\n"; |
