Generate Textfile of information from many pictures by using a template

Hi!

I'd like to let exiftool generate a textfile filled with metadata of all pictures in one folder.
Is this possible? This would be great, because I don't need to type in the LaTeX-Code for all of my pics by hand.

I hope, you don't think I'm lazy, but I have no idea how to realize that with exiftool.

If you need an expample, see the code below. I need the filename and comment at the right place.
Here is the template:

   \begin{figure}

      \centering

      \begin{tabular}{c}

         {

            \includegraphics[width=197mm]{*FILENAME*}}\\

            \multicolumn{1}{p{197mm}}{

            \caption{*COMMENT*}

            \label{fig:*FILENAME*}

         }

      \end{tabular}

   \end{figure}

This is simple to do with the -p option:

First, create a text file (call it, say "p.txt") containing the following:

Code:

\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{c}
{
\includegraphics[width=197mm]{$filename}}\\
\multicolumn{1}{p{197mm}}{
\caption{$comment}
\label{fig:$filename}
}
\end{tabular}
\end{figure}

Then from the command line, do this:

Code:

exiftool -p p.txt DIR > file.out

Where DIR is the name of the directory containing the images.  You can
also add a -r option to recurse into subdirectories.

After you run the command, "file.out" will contain your formatted output.
