I looked over the docs and help screens, but dont see how I can read/write one tag. I want to read one existing tag called subject, and write that value to a tag called title.  I printed out the names of the tags and then tried -TAG. That does'nt seem to return the value.

To copy Subject to Title, try
ExifTool "-Title<Subject" FILE/DIR

Replace FILE/DIR with the actual file or directory you want to change.  If you're not on a Windows machine, replace the double quotes with single quotes.

In the docs, -TAG is a place holder for the actual tags you want to use.  It doesn't have a value by itself.
"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
