GPS - Get the location from a txt file

[Sunny]

I would like to get the location which is stored in a txt file. This is more convenient for me than typing the parameters into the command.

BAT

Code Select Expand

exiftool -k -gpsposition="N 50.056078°, E 14.452429°" %1
I would like to get the location from a file

Code Select Expand

exiftool -k @ gps.txt %1
in gps.txt file is
-gpsposition="N 50.056078°, E 14.452429°"

Is it possible to achieve this somehow?

EDIT:
There is an option to export and import from a CSV file

From the cmd it works

Code Select Expand

exiftool -csv -gpsposition folder > out.csv
From the bat file it does not work, an empty CSV file is created

Code Select Expand

exiftool -k -csv -gpsposition %1 > out.csv

You would need to change the text file a bit, but otherwise, yes. You would use the -@ (Argfile) option to do so.

You would need to remove the quotes (see FAQ #29, "My options don't work in a -@ ARGFILE") and move the reference direction after the coordinate numbers. Here's an example using S/W to show that the directions are correctly being saved.

C:\>type temp.txt
-gpsposition=50.056078° s, 14.452429° w
C:\>exiftool -P -overwrite_original -@ temp.txt y:\!temp\Test4.jpg

C:\>exiftool -G1 -a -s -n -gpsposition y:\!temp\Test4.jpg

exiftool -k -csv -gpsposition %1 > out.csv

It works here. I also tested it by drag/dropping the file onto temp.bat with the same results.

Code Select Expand

C:\>type temp.bat
exiftool -k -csv -gpsposition %1 > out.csv
C:\>temp.bat y:\!temp\Test4.jpg

C:\>exiftool -k -csv -gpsposition y:\!temp\Test4.jpg  1>out.csv

C:\>type out.csv
SourceFile,GPSPosition
y:/!temp/Test4.jpg,"50 deg 3' 21.88"" S, 14 deg 27' 8.74"" W"

Thank you very much for your good advice, this solution is already working for me  As usual, I made a mistake because I used the @ sign alone without - (must be -@) 
No need to move the reference direction after the coordinate numbers, it works for me as I wrote it, without the quotes of course.

Code Select Expand

-gpsposition=N 50.056078°, E 14.452429°
Unfortunately, but the bat file does not work for me, after drag/drop the file is not updated. I have no idea why this is happen, it works for you , it should work for me too

Only because the directions are North and East. It will not work if the direction is at the front and the directions are South or West.
