Adding Creator Work URL

I'm working on a script that will add multiple Creator Work URL's to pictures (Deviant Arts, Flicker, blog, etc).

I have the basic idea of how to get one in.

exiftool -CreatorWorkURL="http://1.url.com"

If I try to multiple commands on the line like with keywords, only the last one stays.

If I enter them manually in Photoshop, they'll show up on separate lines (as in with carriage returns)

If I check the code in exiftool, they're separated by periods, but entering all the urls in a single line with just periods, the urls don't show up as separate lines in photoshop.

Is there something I can use to get the carriage return/separate lines I'd like?

I think reading FAQ number 21 may help.  Let me know if you can't figure out a solution after reading this.

...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 ($).

Huh. I missed that when looking at the faq....I think I read it for an earlier issue...I've been spending lots of searching for this code (it does more than just the url part  :P)

I'm embedding the code in an AppleScript folder action so for the record, and for anyone searching the forum in the future, the first option worked:

QuoteIn many shells, a newline may be inserted directly in the command line:

Bourne shells (press RETURN inside a quoted string)

Thanks for the help and the great tool
