don't know how to use the command
exiftool -xmp:XP comment xxx.jpg

I want to display the XP comment field of XMP in a jpg file
exiftool -xmp:all xxx.jpg displays it but also displays the other fields

exiftool -xmp:"XP comment" xxx.jpg
exiftool -xmp:'XP comment' xxx.jpg
exiftool -xmp:comment xxx.jpg

all are wrong.

The command you want to use is
ExifTool -XPComment xxx.jpg

Anytime you want to figure out how to display individual tags, you can add "-s" to the options and that will give you the short name of the tag to use in the command.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

Also, part of the confusion may be due to the fact that XPComment is not an XMP tag.  Use -G when extracting to see the tag groups.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
