I am considering using ExifTool for my own online photo gallery (http://nafai.org/photos), but I am missing one feature. I would like to extract raw EXIF data (excluding the thumbnail) to a file and then later use that as input when generating the tags to be displayed. Actually I am planning to store the exif data in a database together with other image info.

I thought I could write like this:

but that doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks
