Using Structures

[QPRJohn]

First of all please accept my apologies if this has been dealt with before.

I use structures to read/write to various tags. I'm having several problems writing back tags, to keep it simple I'll discuss them separately.

The first problem is that if I put a space in the text it will only save the text up to the space?

The following code is an example of what I have used to write back to a file....

"-overwrite_original -RegistryID=[{RegItemId=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY,RegOrgId=Registry Organisation Identifier}]"

The RegOrgID text will only save "Registry".

All other structured tags behave the same?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance John

Hi John,

You need to put quotes around a command-line argument containing spaces:

exiftool -overwrite_original "-RegistryID=[{RegItemId=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY,RegOrgId=Registry Organisation Identifier}]" ...
