This looks promising. Now I see the part on
$image_info($file{Comment}). How do I get a date out of this? It is a
scanned text document in tiff format.
Scenario of what I am trying to do:
c:\bla\image_viewer\1070000001\00008\tiff image.
I am trying to go from the image_viewer part and recurse down the dir
tree to each subdir and inside the sub is the tiff. I need to pull the
date out of the tiff image (not the creation date or mod time) and
append it to the directory name. I don't have to code with me now, I
will post what i have tomorrow.
thanks,
Chris
