Hi there,
I would like to get the following two commands in one command:
exiftool -q -if "${Location} eq ${City}" "-Comment<${Location}, ${CountryCode}" -overwrite_original *.jpg
exiftool -q -if "${Location} ne ${City}" "-Comment<${Location}, ${City}, ${CountryCode}" -overwrite_original *.jpgIs that possible (working under Windows)? I tried several ways, but none worked for both commands.
Regards,
Martin
Not as a simple command, as these two -if conditions are opposite and write different values. You would need an if ... then ... else programming structure.
Technically, you could use Perl's ternary operator (https://perlmaven.com/the-ternary-operator-in-perl) ( Condition ? True value : False value) and self->GetValue('TAG') (https://exiftool.org/ExifTool.html#GetValue), but that is really messy IMO, and would be hard to troubleshoot if something went wrong. Something like this (Edit: I have not tested this)
exiftool "-Comment<${Location;$_=($_ eq self->GetValue('City')) ? $_ . ',' . self->GetValue('CountryCode') : $_ . ',' . self->GetValue('City') . ',' . self->GetValue('CountryCode')}" file.jpg
Personally, I would just use two commands, as it's easier to figure out what you're trying to do if you have to fix or change it.

Thank you! I agree, that this seems to be the better way to go.
