how do you output fields without the tagname included?

ie
exiftool -By-line c.jpg
gets me:

Code Select

By-line : Joe Blogs

where I'd like to see simply

Sorry, that's what comes from scanning pages instead of reading them...

OK a real question now...
exiftool -b -CopyrightNotice -Filename -Caption-Abstract -City -Province-State -SpecialInstructions -ICCProfileName -TransmissionReference c.jpg > metadata.txt
get's me no spaces between fields.
How can I put each field on a new line?

The -b option is for outputting individual binary tags. Use the very short output format (-s -s -s or -S -s) to output values only, one on each line.
