EXR Metadata conversion

Hi, I’m looking for a solution to this problem: I’m trying to use the EXR metadata as a string. The ModifyMetaData node does not allow me to use its content in any way (besides viewing and changing it). Also Manage user knobs doesn’t let me pick a particular position in the metadata list. Is there a way to get the information out of the node?

Master Thesis Download Link

I’ve decided to place my Master Thesis in my blog.
This Dissertation was given an 18, in a scale from 0 to 20 by the Universidade Católica Portuguesa. I think this proves the value and the knowledge that I gathered during the entire year. It’s in Portuguese but there’s an Abstract written in English in the Index section.
Enjoy:
