Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will make your post more readable.

Probably you should run something like:

```auto
var=$(base64 "$filename"| perl -pe 's/\n//g');
var1=$(curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/reports-'$date'/document/reports?pipeline=attachment&pretty' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @- <<CURL_DATA
{ "data": "$var" }
CURL_DATA)

```
