trying write script make exiftool write result of

echo "${pwd##*/}" 

to author metadata tag.

let's pdf located in /researchjournal/research1/manual1.pdf

i want use exiftool append research1 author of manual1.pdf.

when i'm in /researchjournal/research1 folder, type echo "${pwd##*/}" in terminal , result research1.

however don't know how write exiftool command correctly.

i know can use exiftool -author=research1, want write command can use on number of different folders without having hard code actual folder name each time.

you can make following commands:

cd /researchjournal/research1 exiftool -author=${pwd##*/} *.pdf
