Is there a way to embed quotation marks in the IPTC data of a TIFF image? I've been using the following command in a script

Code: Select all

convert $image +profile 8bim +comment -profile 8BIMTEXT:$iptc $image

along with a text file of the following format

Code: Select all

8BIM#1028="IPTC"
2#0="&#0;&#2;"
2#120#Caption="Caption"
2#105#Headline="Headline"
2#55#Created Date="00000000"
2#115#Source="Source"

The problem is when the text I'd like to insert contains as quotation mark - ImageMagick assumes that the quotation mark indicates the end of the field. Is there any way to include a quotation mark in the iptc data? An escape character or something along that line?

Problem solved. I'll include the following for other's reference.

" will create quotation marks in the iptc data

Or, if you're using PHP and need all characters that may cause issues replaced, look into using the htmlentities command.

Cool stuff. Didn't know that """ does that. Thanks
