don't know how to use the command
exiftool -xmp:XP comment xxx.jpg

I want to display the XP comment field of XMP in a jpg file
exiftool -xmp:all xxx.jpg displays it but also displays the other fields

exiftool -xmp:"XP comment" xxx.jpg
exiftool -xmp:'XP comment' xxx.jpg
exiftool -xmp:comment xxx.jpg

all are wrong.

The command you want to use is
ExifTool -XPComment xxx.jpg

Anytime you want to figure out how to display individual tags, you can add "-s" to the options and that will give you the short name of the tag to use in the command.

it is OK. thanks a lot.

Also, part of the confusion may be due to the fact that XPComment is not an XMP tag.  Use -G when extracting to see the tag groups.
