Chilkat Ruby Downloads

install from rubygems.org
gem install chilkat
or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

mime = Chilkat::CkMime.new()

# The contents of this MIME file are shown below, 
# and is also available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/sampleMime.txt
success = mime.LoadMimeFile("qa_data/mime/sampleMime.txt")
if (success != true)
    print mime.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# The MIME used in this example has the following nested structure
# 
# multipart/alternative
#     text/plain
#     multipart/related
#         text/html
#         image/jpeg
# 

# This example will save each of the non-multipart parts.
# It will create three files -- a .txt, .html, and .jpg.

# Save the body of the text/plain part.
# pTxt is a CkMime
pTxt = mime.GetPart(0)
pTxt.SaveBody("qa_output/textPart.txt")

# Save the HTML part.
# mpRelated is a CkMime
mpRelated = mime.GetPart(1)
# pHtml is a CkMime
pHtml = mpRelated.GetPart(0)
pHtml.SaveBody("qa_output/htmlPart.html")

# Save the JPG binary data.  (The data is automatically base64 decoded prior to saving.)
# pJpg is a CkMime
pJpg = mpRelated.GetPart(1)
pJpg.SaveBody("qa_output/jpgPart.jpg")
