Sorry for the newbie question but I'd like to move to a new folder a subset of raw files that match a specific ISO. Can anyone point me to the right syntax?

thanks

Try
exiftool -if "$ISO==800" -Directory=/path/to/moved/ /path/to/source/
Replace 800 with the actual ISO you're looking for.  You can also use Less/Greater than </>, e.g. "$ISO>200".
Replace /path/to/moved/ and /path/to/source/ with the actual paths.

This command creates backup files.  Add -Overwrite_Original to suppress the creation of backup files.  Add -r to recurse into subdirectories.  If on Mac/Linux, change double quotes to single quotes (and vice versa).
"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

It shouldn't, because no "real" tags are being written.  So -overwrite_original shouldn't be necessary.

...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 ($).
