How to get the number of pages from a TIF?

Hi,
I want to get the number of pages from a TIF using command line.
I know there's the component identify.exe but I don't find the parameters to apply.
I need to get the number of pages into a variable.
Thanks for any help
Antoine

One method:
Code: Select all
identify -ping -format %n\n multi.tiff
This will output (n) lines, one per image. Each line will contain the number (n). Grab any of those into a variable. See
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/escape.php
There may be a single-line solution, but I can't find one.

ImageMagick won't put it into a variable. Your script needs to do that.

What platform and what version of IM. If Unix, then
Code: Select all
number=$(identify -ping -format "%n\n" multi.tiff | tail -n -1)
