how can I read EXIF data from a JPEG file

I know windows can read the exif data out of jpeg files, but can I retrieve
that data with vbscript?

please help,
Rafael

Hi,
For WindowsXP, you can use the following SDK.
The SDK is including some sample code.

"Windows Image Acquisition Automation Library v2.0 Tool
: Image acquisition and manipulation component for VB and scripting"

The vbscript found here will do it with only the FileSystem Object. Download
the ASP file and remove the HTML stuff from it.

LJB,

The script works well however it just shows the regular properties for the
file.
I was looking for the Exif tags. Maybe from that code, would be easy to
write
something to read the exif code, however I don't know how to do that.

thanks
Rafael

Take a look at this script:

g/13dc4053a8ee5510

which uses the getdetailsof method for a folder.

Thanks Keith,

But Exif properties are different and cannot be read that way. I'm testing
Miyahn's solution which seems to be what i'm looking for.
