How do I print console output redirected to cache?

[klemmleuchte]

Hi Phil,

am I able to redirect the print of DOS console f. e. with "exiftool -k -a -u -g1 -w txt" to cache.

I know about copy from the menu, but search for an easy way to adress. I cannot find any information about on your site or in console>Help.

I don't know what you mean by "to cache".

You can write the output to files anywhere you want with "-w DIR/%f.txt", or redirect the output from multiple files to a single file with "> FILE" (instead of -w).

Hi Phil,

Sorry for my english. It's not so good and sometimes I need to translate with iGoogle.
In german it's named "Zwischenspeicher". The translator only shows "cache" for this. I'm very ashamed to need this. :-(

It's were Windows' Ctrl&C put and you can change the app and paste it with Ctrl&V (in RAM).

I understand now, thanks.  It is called the "clipboard".

I know of no way to redirect the exiftool console output to the clipboard, sorry.

Yeah, clipboard. I've heard of... 

Thanks for your answer. I'll look for DOS-specialists.

Bye, Eike

Hi,

On Windows7, there's a "clip" command for that purpose, for example:
exiftool -exif:all photo.jpg|clip
After executing above command, all data from exiftool will be transferred to clipboard and you can, for example, paste that data into Notepad.
If you are using WindowsXP: XP doesn't contain "clip" command, but I'm sure you can find "clip.exe" file on internet and then copy it to Windows directory.

Greetings,
Bogdan
