Hi
I have installed exiftool 8.03 and the Perl interpreter from activeperl.com.
I have tried to write console output to files, using:
dasch outPointTxt
minus w pathAndFilename
minus w txt
(sorry, this post could not be saved with the original coding)
The console shows the correkt information but there is no output.
How can I correct this?
Thanks for help, Alex

exiftool ARGUMENTS > out.txt
To send generate an output file for each input file:
exiftool ARGUMENTS -w txt
If you are inputting the arguments using the
-@ option,
then they must be on separate lines:
-w
txt
I hope this helps.

Hi Phil
This is exactly what I tried but it does not work. No txt-files are generated.
What could prevent the txt-files from beeing written?

Things I can think of offhand:
1) Are looking for the .txt files in the wrong place? When
using the -w option they will be written to the same
directory as the images.
2) Is the disk write protected? Or is it full? (But in this case I
would expect exiftool to issue error messages.)

When I do:
Exiftool.pl -k C:\test < out.txt

How could .txt be an unknown file type?

Hi Phil
To answer your questions:
there is no out.txt anywhere on my computer.
The disk has lots of free space and is not write protected. I can save anything else, so I also have enough rights.

OK, you're using redirection and not the -w option.
I hope you mean "gt" (>) and not "lt" (<).
Redirection is entirely a feature of the shell you are running.
Since you are using ActivePerl I will assume you are running
on Windows. If you are using the default Windows command
shell (cmd.exe), then this should work. If you are using some
other shell, please consult the shell documentation to see
if the redirection syntax is different.
