# metadata.valueSeparator Property HTML5/Flash Uploader JavaScript

Supported technologies: ![Adobe Flash](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/icons/flash.png)
 
Gets or sets a sequence of characters used to separate strings stored in one metadata field (such as **IptcKeyword**).

## Syntax
 
```
$au.imageUploaderFlash({
    metadata: {
        //...other params...
        valueSeparator: " ",
        //...other params...
    }
})
```

```
$au.imageUploaderFlash('uploaderID').metadata().valueSeparator(value);
value = $au.imageUploaderFlash('uploaderID').metadata().valueSeparator();
```
 
### Property Value
 
Type: **String**
 
The sequence of characters used to separate strings stored in one metadata field.
 
Default value is **" "**.

## Remarks
 
Some metadata fields like **IptcKeyword** can contain multiple string values. Suppose, you upload an image which contains several keywords (`portrait`, `old photo`, `black and white`) stored in one **IptcKeyword** field. If you specified this field for upload, using the [iptc](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/FH_P_J_$au_metadata_iptc.htm.md) property, the `IptcKeyword_0` POST field will contain all these keywords gathered into one string separated with this property value. For example, if you set it to the `";"` you will get the `"portrait;old photo;black and white"` POST field value.
