How to remove single apostrophe ' from Description tag?

[bartek]

Hi I'm trying to remove ' (single apostrophe) from Description tag, but can't get it to work.

Can you please help?

Thanks in advance.

Btw. I'm on Windows 11 if that matters

Try this (in a CMD shell):

exiftool "-description<${description;s/'//g}" FILE

Hello Phil, Thanks for your reply. The command works perfectly fine on my Windows 10 pc, but on another computer with Windows 11 I get this message:

Warning: No writable tags set from bfom.jpg

Why is that?

Are you using CMD or Powershell?  The above command is for CMD.  Powershell has different quoting rules, which you should see by the different color highlighting in the command.

oh, you're right! Thanks a lot, I didn't realize there's a difference. On cmd it works as it should
