This library is a wrapper for the Exiftool command-line application (https://exiftool.org) written by Phil Harvey. It provides the full power of Exiftool to Ruby: reading and writing of EXIF-data, IPTC-data and XMP-data. Branch master is for actual development and branch compatibility-version is for compatibility with Ruby 1.8 and exiftool versions prior 7.65.

US postal codes are parsed to integers instead of strings #40

Closed jvradelis closed 3 years ago

jvradelis commented 3 years ago

US postal codes beginning with a 0 and containing another zero are converted to integers and drop the initial 0.

For example, a postal code like '02109' (Boston MA) will become 2109.

I believe that line 464 of mini_exiftool.rb (convert_after_load) is intended to preserve postal codes as strings, but the match condition (when /^0+[1-9]+$/) does not handle this example properly because the second zero causes the match to fail. I propose that the condition be changed to: when /^0+[0-9]+$/.

Good catch. Thank you.

Bug is fixed in mini_exiftool 2.10.1.

Indeed, it is. Thanks very much.
