Replacing some of the characters

[Newsky]

Is it possible to replace some of the characters on the other?
It should be in all the photos arranged in subfolders, only to rewrite certain characters in certain fields (-xpcomment; -xmp-dc:description; Comment; imagedescription; IPTC:Caption-Abstract) "and" replacing it with a Cyrillic "и". Is that possible? If possible, how to do it?

There are as follows:


It must be like this:


Thank you!

[Phil Harvey]

This is possible using a number of different techniques.  You may either create user-defined tags or use the advanced-formatting feature when copying to change the values of individual tags.  But to change the values of a number of tags, maybe the -filter option would be easiest, with a command something like this:

exiftool -tagsfromfile @ -filter "s/ and / и /g" -xpcomment -caption-abstract -description -imagedescription DIR

Try updating to the current version of ExifTool.

- Phil

[Newsky]

I always follow the Exiftool updates and always use only the latest versions of the Exiftool ver.10.12

[Phil Harvey]

Oh, right.  Sorry.  That is an API option:

exiftool -tagsfromfile @ -api "filter=s/ and / и /g" -xpcomment -caption-abstract -description -imagedescription DIR

- Phil

[Newsky]

Hooray! almost got it! If I use Exiftool GUI and insert code:
-tagsfromfile @ -api "filter=s/ and / и /g" -xpcomment -caption-abstract -description -imagedescription
all works!
But if I use the command line turns out here that:

You forgot the -tagsFromFile

[Newsky]

I'm sorry for my inattention

Now I get here are the results:

1. Exiftool GUI: -tagsfromfile @ -api "filter=s/ and / и /g" -xpcomment -caption-abstract -description -imagedescription



All perfectly!

2. cmd: c:\ExifToolGUI\exiftool.exe -tagsfromfile @ -api "filter=s/ and / и /g" -xpcomment -caption-abstract -description -imagedescription "2016-02-28 12-10-18.jpg" -k





3. cmd: c:\ExifToolGUI\exiftool.exe -charset Cyrillic -tagsfromfile @ -api "filter=s/ and / и /g" -xpcomment -caption-abstract -description -imagedescription "2016-02-28 12-10-18.jpg" -k

[Phil Harvey]

I thought maybe I should have mentioned this.  Try reading FAQ 10 and 18 for some help with special characters on the command line.

- Phil

[Newsky]

I think I understand. With this syntax, all turned:
c:\ExifToolGUI\exiftool.exe -charset Cyrillic -charset exif=UTF8 -tagsfromfile @ -api "filter=s/ and / и /g" -xpcomment -caption-abstract -description -imagedescription "2016-02-28 12-10-18.jpg" -k

Little question if I may. What type of value -comment That this is the field I did not do it. In it still turns unreadable characters.

[Phil Harvey]

From the FAQ:

JPEG Comment: The encoding for the JPEG Comment (COM segment) is not specified, so ExifTool reads/writes this text without conversion.

So you need to specify Comment in the character set that you want written.

- Phil

[Newsky]

I stopped in this version:
c:\ExifToolGUI\exiftool.exe -r -m -charset Cyrillic -charset exif=UTF8 -tagsfromfile @ -api "filter=s/ and / и /g" -xpcomment -caption-abstract -description -imagedescription "E:\test" -overwrite_original -execute "-XPComment>Comment" "E:\test" -overwrite_original -k

Figure out how to explicitly specify the character set for the field could not -comment Thank you for your help, Phil! And I'm sorry to interrupt with such things, I'm just very difficult to understand the FAQ without knowing the language, it's my big problem

[Newsky]

Many of the photos, for some strange reason I have remained unchanged. (What could be wrong with them? Attached problematic one of the problematic picture).

How you can add more values to replace? For example:
and = и
months = месяцев
weeks = недель
days = дней

[Phil Harvey]

Thanks for this report, and for the sample image.  I am able to reproduce this problem.  There is a bug in ExifTool that causes the filter to be ignored for some tags when the Composite tags are being generated.  Until I fix this bug, the work-around is to add -e to your command, which bypasses the Composite tags (which you aren't using anyway in your commands).

To replace more strings, use a filter like this:  s/ and / и /g; s/ months / месяцев /g

You can add as many as you want, separated by semicolons.

- Phil

[Newsky]

Thank you, Phil! Now all the work!

[RSI]

To replace more strings, use a filter like this:  s/ and / и /g; s/ months / месяцев /g

I also want to replace special characters in my descriptions. But this doesn't work.

In the end I'd like to replace several characters in three different tags, but combining them in one filter argument doesn't work.
Any hints? Am I doing something wrong?

I use Windows 10. The codepage was set to utf-8.

[Phil Harvey]

I don't have time to test this right now, but you should maybe be using tr/// instead of s///g, like this:

Filter=tr/ÀàÁáÂâ.../AaAaAa.../

I'll look into your problem when I get a chance.

Greetings everyone. For myself, if having an option with the unicodes, Im always putting the option inside of an args-file.
Im only ever use the exiftool inside of cmd.exe, so its very difficult for me to specify many unicodes like in your command.
Do you have a secret way for doing this?  Like setting the chcp, and then copy/paste, because Im not succeeding at this?

So for me (Win8.1/CodePage437) Im always conduct the unicodes by creating a "MyArgsFile" like...

Code Select Expand


-api
Filter=s/À/A/g;s/à/a/g;s/Á/A/g;s/á/a/g;s/Â/A/g;s/â/a/g;s/Ã/A/g;s/ã/a/g;s/Å/A/g;s/å/a/g;s/Æ/Ä/g;s/æ/ä/g;s/Ā/A/g;s/ā/a/g;s/Ç/C/g;s/ç/c/g;s/È/E/g;s/è/e/g;s/É/E/g;s/é/e/g;s/Ê/E/g;s/ê/e/g;s/Ë/E/g;s/ë/e/g;s/Ē/E/g;s/ē/e/g;s/Ì/I/g;s/ì/i/g;s/Í/I/g;s/í/i/g;s/Î/I/g;s/î/i/g;s/Ï/I/g;s/ï/i/g;s/Ī/I/g;s/ī/i/g;s/Ñ/N/g;s/ñ/n/g;s/Ò/O/g;s/ò/o/g;s/Ó/O/g;s/ó/o/g;s/Ô/O/g;s/ô/o/g;s/Õ/O/g;s/õ/o/g;s/Ø/Ö/g;s/ø/ö/g;s/Ō/O/g;s/ō/o/g;s/Ŝ/S/g;s/ŝ/s/g;s/Ù/U/g;s/ù/u/g;s/Ú/U/g;s/ú/u/g;s/Û/U/g;s/û/u/g;s/Ũ/U/g;s/ũ/u/g;s/Ū/U/g;s/ū/u/g;s/Ÿ/Y/g;s/ÿ/y/g;s/Č/C/g;s/č/c/g;s/Ć/C/g;s/ć/c/g;s/Š/S/g;s/š/s/g;s/Ž/Z/g;s/ž/z/g;s/Ý/Y/g;s/ý/y/g;s/IJ/IJ/g;s/ij/ij/g;s/Ł/L/g;s/ł/l/g;s/Ŕ/R/g;s/ŕ/r/g
Then having to use commands like...
exiftool -m -overwrite_original -@ MyArgsFile -TagsFromFile @ -Caption-Abstract DIR

So if there is any way to paste many unicode characters like this into the cmd.exe, Im very interested to discover the methods.
Sorry I cant do any troubleshooting for the commandline, because not even knowing how to get so many unicodes pasted like this!


Edit: Since I cant invent a way to experiment with unicodes on the commandline, this another idea...
Maybe the "test.jpg" never has IPTC:CodedCharacterSet==UTF8 when first writing to $Caption-Abstract ?
So if $Caption-Abstract was written as UTF8 by another application, but never documented with $CodedCharacterSet...

Then maybe try setting -IPTC:CodedCharacterSet=UTF8 or just adding -charset iptc=utf8 to the experiments.

...but you should maybe be using tr/// instead of s///g, like this:

Filter=tr/ÀàÁáÂâ.../AaAaAa.../

Thanks for the hint. It works if I use only 1 character by 1 character replacements. Otherwise strange things happen (It replaces R by L and r by l – kind of funny, but not what I wanted ^^). So as long as I remove IJ ij (this are 2 special characters, not 4 separate characters) and the IJ ij substitutions, it works for the time.

[RSI]

So if there is any way to paste many unicode characters like this into the cmd.exe, Im very interested to discover the methods.

That's simple. Execute chcp 65001 before pasting/executing the unicode character replacement code.
If you use a batch file - store that as UTF-8.

[StarGeek]

A little late to the thread, but in this post, I made a user defined tag that has a subroutine to "normalize" accented characters.

Here's the subroutine

To use it, copy this block and paste it in your .exiftool_config file, making sure it's not inside of any of the Image::ExifTool code blocks.  Open up the StateAbbrev.config file in the linked post for an example.

Once it's in your config file, you can use it as a helper function. See this post.  For example, instead of the long filter posted above, it would simply be
exiftool -api "filter=MyNormalize($_)" -TagsFromFile @ -Caption-Abstract file.jpg
