How to send a label's text as an email attachment? - iphone

Question

I want to attach a label text to an email,
How can I send a text inside a UILabel as an attachment to email ?
This is the code I'm using :
-(IBAction)send:(id)sender {
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 100, 300, 100)];
label.numberOfLines = 0;
label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
label.text = #"text";
[self.view addSubview:label];
[label release];
MFMailComposeViewController *mailer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailer setSubject:#"Subject"];
NSString *fileName = #"my file.txt";
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
[mailer addAttachmentData:myData mimeType:#"text/plain" fileName:fileName];
// Fill out the email body text
NSString *emailBody = #"Email Body";
[mailer setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
[self presentModalViewController:mailer animated:YES];
[mailer release];
}
else
{
UIAlertView *alertm = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Failure"
message:#"Please make sure that your email application is open"
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alertm show];
[alertm release];
}
}
How can I link that label to attach it to email ?
Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

you're almost there.
-- you read text from a file and attach it
===
read the data not from the file but from the label itself
NSData *data = [self.label.text dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8Encoding];

Answer 2

You can add the Label text to the Body.
NSString *emailBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Your Voice File Attached. %#", label.text];
something like this
