Hi,
Can someone tell me why this command will work fine
perl c:\windows\exiftool.pl -artist="Phil Harvey" -copyright="2011 Phil Harvey" C:\Users\Andrew\Desktop\testimage
and it writes correctly to the file but if I change it to
perl c:\windows\exiftool.pl -artist="Silverstone Auctions" -copyright="2019 Silverstone Auctions" C:\Users\Andrew\Desktop\testimage
it come up with an error file not found, both are text fields and apart from more characters there is no change om what the command is asking unless I am missing something.
Many thanks
Andrew
Hi Andrew,
It must be a difference in an invisible character somewhere. Either the wrong space, quote or dash character. It should work if you retype it using a standard keyboard so you don't get any funny characters.
- Phil
this command
perl c:\windows\exiftool.pl -artist="Silverstone Auctions" C:\Users\Andrew\Desktop\testimage
is producing
"Silverstone;
could the issue be I am copying from text edit in a mac and pasting into my VPS rather than typing in direct? will check maybe that is the issue.
Phil,
You have nailed it - it seemed to be an issue with a copy and paste from a Mac to my Windows VPS it was creating a funny ".
This is what has been causing the issue, when typed direct into terminal it worked, or sorry pasted into notepad and fixed the " character and then pasted in and all good.
What a nightmare - Mac to Windows and Windows to Mac.
Many thanks finally have got it to work.
Andrew
