I synced a subtitle file (Dutch titles with the recording I made from ITV of the show Vera)

 

After I finished saved the file, and closed the sync program.

Now the file refuses to read in anything which read srt files.

 

Opening it in PSp[ad revealed this:

1
00:02:38605 --> 00:02:41994
Blanke vrouw, begin 20.
Verwonding aan de zijkant van het hoofd.

Off course this must be:

1
00:02:38,605 --> 00:02:41,994
Blanke vrouw, begin 20.
Verwonding aan de zijkant van het hoofd.

I can always resync the file (but this takes 1/2 hour concentrated work).

 

Can somebody help with a script or a method for putting the comma's back into this file?

Here you are:

>>> import re
>>> d=open("/tmp/s").read()
>>> d
'1\n00:02:38605 --> 00:02:41994\nBlanke vrouw, begin 20.\nVerwonding aan de zijkant van het hoofd.\n'
>>> re.sub("(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d\d)(\d\d)", r"\1,\2", d)
'1\n00:02:386,05 --> 00:02:419,94\nBlanke vrouw, begin 20.\nVerwonding aan de zijkant van het hoofd.\n'

root@et9x00:/var/volatile/tmp# python comma.py test.srt
  File "comma.py", line 1
    >>> import re
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[WanWizard]

what does your comma.py look like?

 

The ">>>" in the example are the python interactive prompt, not part of the code!

[athoik]

Use this one to create script.

#!/usr/bin/python

import os
import re
import sys

f = sys.argv[1]
d = open(f).read()
d = re.sub("(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d\d)(\d\d)", r"\1,\2", d)
open(f + '.new', 'w').write(d)

Sorry not exactly correct:

 

00:02:386,05 --> 00:02:419,94

 

Should be:

 

00:02:38,605 --> 00:02:41,994

 

I have no idea how to modify it to get it correct

Check the parentesis, there are two groups, the second one has two digits \d\d change it two three and remove one from fist group.

[doglover]

This seems to do the trick.

d = re.sub("(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d)(\d\d\d)", r"\1,\2", d)

But it is still Chinese for me.

But problem solved.  So thanks

Follow this tutorial to learn regular experessions: http://regexone.com/

[doglover]

I need to do that.  Also in parsing websites for EPG grabbing this is handy, but I never came to apply it.  Up to now I have helped myself by selecting the appropriate tags.

But regex expression are more versatile.  I know that.

Well, I took a crash course (will need to repeat this, and practise a lot before I am fluent) and realized that I could use this in PSPad or Notepad++ to solve the problem as well.

Search : (\d\d:\d\d:\d\d)

Replace: $1,

And not to forget to select the regex button, did the trick.

For testing regular expressions, have a look at https://regex101.com/, might save quite a bit of time in trial-and-error...
