Title: Export to CSV separator switch not working or missunderstanding
Post by: Bastel on June 23, 2017, 03:37:13 AM
Hello,
under liunx with version 10.10 of exiftools i have the following problem:
I'am trying to set a semicolon instead of a comma because somtimes in the Data is also a comma.
exiftool -sep ";" -csv -FileSize -FileType *
gives me
SourceFile,FileSize,FileType
PanoMal_100.png,1897 kB,PNG
PanoMal_200.png,1660 kB,PNG
PanoMal_300.png,1552 kB,PNG


even if i try different characters it doesn't work.
what is my mistake?

Hi Bastel,

The -csv option only outputs comma separated, but it will properly quote values which contain commas, so all should be good.
