Find replace text in title and description tags

[kakakhan]

Hi

I have images in which tag objectname (which is shown in abobe bridge as Title) have word drawing. I want to replace word drawing with word illustration. After reading forum and documentation, I come to know that it can be possible using config file. I have create my own config file in notepad namely findreplace and place following in it

Code Select Expand


%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
    'Image::ExifTool::Composite' => {
        nkDesc => {             
            Require => 'Caption-Abstract',
            ValueConv => q{ $val=~s/drawing/illustration/g ? $val : undef },
        },
    },
);

%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
    'Image::ExifTool::Composite' => {
        nkTitle => {             
            Require => 'ObjectName',
            ValueConv => q{ $val=~s/drawing/illustration/g ? $val : undef },
        },
    },
);


For changing descirption I use command
exiftool -config findreplace "-Caption-Abstract<nkDesc" pic.jpg

For changing title I use command
exiftool -config findreplace "-ObjectName<nkTitle" pic.jpg

Above two userDefine tag can't work if both are in same config file. But individually they work fine. I have also appended these above in default
.ExifTool_config and encounter same problem. I did'nt figure out, what I am missing.

Thanks for such great and powerful tool.

The one statement overrides the other, you need to properly combine them like so:

Code Select Expand

%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
    'Image::ExifTool::Composite' => {
        nkDesc => {             
            Require => 'Caption-Abstract',
            ValueConv => q{ $val=~s/drawing/illustration/g ? $val : undef },
        },
        nkTitle => {             
            Require => 'ObjectName',
            ValueConv => q{ $val=~s/drawing/illustration/g ? $val : undef },
        },
    },
);

You can also used the advanced formatting option and skip the config file altogether.  This command will do the substitution on both items at once without a config file.

ExifTool -if "$ObjectName=~/drawing/ or $Caption-Abstract=~/drawing/" "-ObjectName<${ObjectName;s/drawing/illustration/g}" "-Caption-Abstract<${Caption-Abstract;s/drawing/illustration/g}" <FILE/DIR>

WOW. One exiftool tool command without any config, which is also using if condition. Amazing man. Working perfectly. Many thanks for all quick reply. You are really star ;-)
