Hello --- sorry for a trivial question, but I must have just missed the switch in the docs --- but I want to write the output of exiftool to a file not using redirection (>) I thought there switch was -o but that did not work --- what would be the proper switch? Thanks
See the -w (-TextOut) option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#w-EXT-or-FMT--textOut) for separate output files for each file processed. See note 2 under that option for a single file for all output.
thx for the info
hello --- thx for info with note # 2 --- I am running exiftool over a directory and just want to send the output to a file in the temp folder --- I can't seem to get the triggers just right ---- what would be the syntax to get the output to foo.txt in the tmp folder (windows) where %temp% is the tmp dir -- thanks
Try this: -W+! %temp%/foo.txt

thx for that info --- that was exactly what I was looking for
