Hi, I have script that will find the latest report file created (reports are generated everyday) and sends mail to recipients the link to that file. But the problem is the link is too long, file://systemip/folder1/folder2/folder3/abcdefghijklmnop.xls. i want to send mail with "LINK1" in place of this whole string. i tried , it did not work. please help me. here is part of my script, 
use SendMail; 
$smtpserver = "120.12.145.41"; 
$smtpport = 25; 

$sender = "Naga<math\@yahoo.com>"; 

$recipient = "ABC<math1\@yahoo.com>"; 





$sm = new SendMail($smtpserver,$smtpport); 

$sm->setDebug($sm->ON); 

$sm->From($sender); 

$sm->Subject("Reports Link"); 



$sm->To($recipient); 

$sm->setMailBody("please click the following link to get the reports\n
+\n <a href=""\\\\111.1.34.100\\ABC\\Reports\\BCD\\Details\\MNO\$lates
+t_bb_xls">click here</a>"); 


if ($sm->sendMail() != 0) { 
print $sm->{'error'}. "\n"; 
exit -1;
