You have very long lines in the file, that could be the problem, you can try this:

Code:
tr '\n' '~' < file | tr ':' '\n' | sed 's/\(.*THDEA\).*/\1/' |tr '\n' ':' | tr '~' '\n'

	   Print the name and description of TAG.

       -a TAG, --add=TAG

       Set caption "Foo" in all jpegs of the current dir: iptc -m Caption -v "Foo" *.jpg

       Add keyword "vacation" to all jpegs: iptc -a Keywords -v "vacation" *.jpg
