Rightly format output data from remote image

[danjde]

Hi Devs!
I would like to obtain remote exif data and format the output as Italian convention (%d/%m/%Y).

I've try:

Code Select Expand

curl -s https://3x1t.org/Wqz4sXz/img/IMG_20201021_155424.jpg | exiftool -n -p '$datetimeoriginal' -fast -

But the output is as UK convention:

Code Select Expand

2020:10:21 15:54:26

How I give the italian output?


I know that it's a very silly question but that is the life..   

Many thanks!

Please not to use -n with -d 'DateFormat' because -n is prejudice against the DateFormat...

curl -s https://3x1t.org/Wqz4sXz/img/IMG_20201021_155424.jpg | exiftool -d '%d/%m/%Y' -p  $DateTimeOriginal  -Fast -

But if the -n is to be mandatory, then we can use..

%curl% -s https://3x1t.org/Wqz4sXz/img/IMG_20201021_155424.jpg | exiftool -n -p  '${DateTimeOriginal;s/^(\d{4}):(\d\d):(\d\d).*/$3\/$2\/$1/}' -Fast -

Well Luuk2005!
I've try the second code and works fine, the first give me only the output "-fast".

Would you be kind enough to even tell me how get the date too, in format hour and minutes ->  "15:54"?

Many thanks!

You need the quotes around '$DateTimeOriginal' in the first command.  To add the time, do this:

Code Select Expand

curl -s https://3x1t.org/Wqz4sXz/img/IMG_20201021_155424.jpg | exiftool -d '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M' -p '$datetimeoriginal' -fast -

Lol, Phil and StarGeek are like the Flash! Im just coming to say the same things, since '$datetimeoriginal' is in your post.
Im Windows and not realized that -p in your shell needs quotes around $. The ugly way, but only if you needed -n for something else...

Code Select Expand


curl -s https://3x1t.org/Wqz4sXz/img/IMG_20201021_155424.jpg | exiftool -n -p  '${DateTimeOriginal;s/^(\d{4}):(\d\d):(\d\d) (\d\d:\d\d).*/$3\/$2\/$1 \4/}' -Fast -

So its easier to see that -d 'DateFormat' is much to be preferred!

WAW! Just what I was looking for Phil Harvey!

Thanks StarGeek, your information is very useful! I'll treasure this for the rest of my code ;-)
