command line options / switches

Hello --- sorry for a  trivial question, but I must have just missed the switch in the docs --- but  I want to write the output of exiftool to a file  not using  redirection  (>)  I thought there switch was  -o  but that did not work ---  what would be the proper switch? Thanks

[StarGeek]

See the -w (-TextOut) option for separate output files for each file processed.  See note 2 under that option for a single file for all output.

hello --- thx for info with note # 2 --- I am running exiftool over a directory and just want to send the output to a file in the temp folder --- I can't seem to get the triggers just right ----  what would be  the syntax  to get the output to foo.txt in the tmp folder (windows) where %temp% is the tmp dir -- thanks

Try this: -W+! %temp%/foo.txt
