not matching keyword/tag ?

[juju22]

Hello,

I'm trying to select file for post-processing based on keyword/tags which where either input by digikam, either by exiftool.
Problem, It doesn't match and I don't understand why:

Code Select Expand


$ exiftool -a -u -g1 20120716_034751--DSC_0613.JPG |grep -i couch
Last Keyword XMP                : voyageurs/couchsurfers
Subject                         : couchsurfers
Tags List                       : voyageurs/couchsurfers
Hierarchical Subject            : voyageurs|couchsurfers
Keywords                        : couchsurfers
$ t=couchsurfers exiftool -p '$directory/$filename' -if "(\$keywords=~/$t/)" -r -ext jpg 20120716_000140--DSC_0199.JPG
    1 files failed condition
$ t=couchsurfers exiftool -p '$directory/$filename' -if "((\$taglist=~/$t/ or \$keywords=~/$t/ or \$subject=~/$t/))" -r -ext jpg 20120716_000140--DSC_0199.JPG
    1 files failed condition


where is the error ?

Thanks a lot.
Cheers,

Julien

Note: exiftool from lubuntu 12.04 (8.97-precise~ppa1)

I'm not sure about your command syntax.  This doesn't work for me:

t=couchsurfers exiftool -echo "$t"

But this does:

exiftool -echo "couchsurfers"
