I have tried using the " \ " prior to each single quote character, and if I msgbox the uc variable from the code below, the resulting command appears perfect. however, when uc is actually run by the system command, the single quotes do not appear to be translated properly because I get a message on the screen that says" Error - File not Found - bedroom". That tells me that the single quotes are not being respected to keep "master bedroom" as a single string. Therefore, exiftool misinterprets bedroom as the filename due to the space character between master and bedroom.</div><div><br></div><div>I am using FilePro 5.7 on FreeBSD 9.0 p3.</div><div><br></div><div>I am hopeful that there is an easy solution to this. thank you very much, </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><font face="Monaco" size="5">::fn="/tmp/test.jpg":</font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="5">::va="master bedroom":</font></div><div><div><font face="Monaco" size="5">::uc="/usr/local/bin/exiftool -q -iptc^AObjectName=\'"{va{"\'"<fn:</font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="5">::system noredraw uc:</font></div></div></div><br><div>
