exiftool comment data

[scraulb]

If I use exiftool inside php and execute this command:

exiftool -Comment='hello
helloagain' test.jpg

When I read it back using exiftool -Command test.jpg I do not see a carriage return. It just replaces it with a dot.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

ExifTool replaces unprintable characters in the output with a ".".   See FAQ number 21 for more information.

Thanks for the reply.  Sorry I missed the -b command.
