I am sure that someone have an idea about that but i am not able to find a good solution

Problem: my old image management system separated keywords with another separator as bridge is able to read. But or because of that Bridge import the hierarchy of keywords wrong.

So i need something which replaces the keywords before import or make a import directly to Bridge.. any suggestions?

Thank for your help!

My knee-jerk response for stuff like this is 'Try exiftool:
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/'

I use it for all of my complex metadata work.

Why not open all files in a text editor (tip: Notepad++) and simply replace the old separator for the new one?
