Hi,

I would like to create a text file with the following information

Code:

filename.jpg exif:CreateDate

So I wouldn't want one text file per image but one (possibly) large file that has this info listed. Has anyone done this before and would share the "how" with me? I have looked in the documentation but didn't find an example that matched my requirement closely (and I have to admit that I'm not a shell script wizard).

Thanks in advance,
Bernd

Thank you very much - this is great. Now that I see how it's done, I also can find it in the documentation. Again, thanks a lot - you saved me a lot of time!

best regards,
Bernd
