Hi! I am new to Perl, and my programming knowledge is very limited (just 1 week). I'm trying to read specific tags to store in a text file, but I do not know the syntax. This is the code I found in the help file but it list the key pairs.
Thanks in advance
Hi! I am new to Perl, and my programming knowledge is very limited (just 1 week). I'm trying to read specific tags to store in a text file, but I do not know the syntax. This is the code I found in the help file but it list the key pairs.
Code:
use Image::ExifTool qw;
my $exifTool = new Image::ExifTool;
my $info = $exifTool->ImageInfo('image.jpg');
foreach (keys %$info) {
print "$_ => $$info{$_}\n";
}
For example, I may just need author name and the date taken, how would I gather this into variable $author and $date? I am yet to learn about the advanced part of programming, so this part of the code was above my head. :-(my $exifTool = new Image::ExifTool;
my $info = $exifTool->ImageInfo('image.jpg');
foreach (keys %$info) {
print "$_ => $$info{$_}\n";
}
Thanks in advance

Try this:

Try this:
Code:
my $author = $$info{Author};
my $date = $$info{DateTimeOriginal};
my $date = $$info{DateTimeOriginal};
