Showing only unknown tags

Hi,

Probably not possible, but I'll ask anyway...

Is it possible to show all Makernotes unknown tags (and it's values) only? Meaning, known tags are not displayed.

Why I ask is, that when "examining", by using (for example):

exiftool -U -s -Makernotes:all photo.jpg

-it is disturbing when known tags are mixed with unknown ones...

Thanks for answering

Bogdan

PS: Just arised... Exif:Copyright tag can contain two lines, which must be separated by NULL (0) character. Any idea, how to insert NULL into (windows) command line?

If you have a 'grep' utility, you can filter out most of the known
tags by piping through "grep 0x", but exiftool doesn't have this
feature on its own.

Exiftool accepts the two EXIF:Copyright two fields separated by a
newline, which can be inserted using various techniques discussed
here in the past.  The newline is converted to a null internally.

If you need help with the newline, let me know and I'll look
up the post for you.

Thanks for fast response

...and thanks for "grep" tip -just discovered I have it installed with Delphi (pascal). Now I must figure out it's usability :-)

About NULL... searching in this forum is somehow limited (I almost never get a hit). Anyway, if I understand correctly: If I put newline (CR+LF) somewhere into Copyright string, exiftool will automatically translate this into NULL character. I'll try this...

You're right about searching in this forum.  Luckily I have email
copies of all the posts so I can use my mail search.

It works as "advertised"... thanks a lot.

Reading link you provided, I could recall I saw that "somewhere" :-) Now I'll put a notice into my "private examples".

Greetings,
