ReadIPTC property.

 

    
Example
 
     

This property holds a collection of all the IPTC elements that were found. So if you want to write them out you might use the following code:

[VBScript]
Set gr = Server.CreateObject("ImageGlue7.Graphic")
gr.ReadIPTC = True
gr.SetFile(Server.MapPath("iptc_info.tif"))
For Each ip In gr.IPTC
  Response.Write("Record = " & ip.Record& "<br>")
  Response.Write("DataSet = " & ip.DataSet& "<br>")
  Response.Write("Name = " & ip.Name & "<br>")
  Response.Write("Text = " & ip.Text & "<br>")
Next

This might produce the following output:

Record = 2
DataSet = 0
Name =
Text =
Record = 2
DataSet = 120
Name = Caption
Text = Boats in the harbour
Record = 2
DataSet = 80
Name = Byline

Record = 2
DataSet = 25
Name = Keyword
Text = boat
Record = 2
DataSet = 25

Text = sea

DataSet = 25
Name = Keyword
Text = sailing
Record = 2
DataSet = 116
