Thanx for that that gave me the lead i needed.
I did some hunting around and found the following command:
convert my.jpg IPTCTEXT:iptcdata.txt
This will give me a very small text document with the IPTC data in it.
Here is a sample of the output:
2#0="�"
2#120#Caption="KY1007 Trench 1. General view with column base after excavation.
Looking S. "
2#80#Byline="USCAP"
2#25#Keyword="030905"
2#25#Keyword="KY1007 Trench 1"
2#25#Keyword="General view"
2#25#Keyword="Column base"
2#116#Copyright String="USCAP"
>From here its nice and easy.
Regards,
