Is it possible to use "OR" in "IF" statement?

Hello everyone! I want to check Caption-Abstract tag for several words. if either of them is present, I do some actions. Is it possible to do so? Right now I just check for each of the word in a new exiftool operation, but obviously it takes more time, because the file is scanned two times instead of one:

Code Select Expand

-if '$Caption-Abstract =~ /word1/i' ....

Code Select Expand

-if '$Caption-Abstract =~ /word2/i' ....

Try
-if '$Caption-Abstract =~ /word1|word2/i'

The part between the slashes is a Regular Expression and the bar is used for alternative options.  Check out this website for more info.

Thanks so much! That was exactly something I've been looking for;)
