I have photos with keyword metadata created by WLPG in the typical form:
XPKeywords : Places/France/Champagne/Other Champagne;Places of Interest/Vineyards
I would like to change the separator from / to |
Following the example at https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=6516.0 (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=6516.0) I have tried a Windows batch file readingcd C:
cd "\ExifTool\Before"
"C:\ExifTool\exiftool.exe" -k -r -sep "; " "-XPKeywords<${XPKeywords;s/\///\|g}" * -o "C:/ExifTool/After/%%d/"
but the output still has / as separator.
Close, but you have a couple of problems. Try this:
exiftool -k -r "-xpkeywords<${xpkeywords;tr(/)(|)}" -o "C:/ExifTool/After/%%d/" .
The problem that was stopping you was a syntax error in your substitution expression. I have changed this to "tr" and used brackets to make it more readable.

Thanks. That works.
(What was wrong with the s syntax? Was it following /\// by /\| ? Would it be possible with s instead of tr?)
s/\//\|/g <-- this should work
s/\///\|g <-- you had this
Thanks!
