This is start of a srt
file:
0
00:00:07,000 --> 00:01:00,000
lorem ipsum... // this line doesn't work
1
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,800
lorem ipsum...
2
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,960
lorem ipsum...
The first line doesn't work, I suppose because of0
as the ordinal.
I need a way, javascript way if possible, to correctly change all ordinal numbers at once, not one by one (over 1000 lines), starting with 1
and not with 0
.
I was searching for various online solutions, without success.
You could create an html file with a textarea, load it in your browser and copy the contents of the .srt file in. Use the following javascript to convert the textarea's text:
var numberRegex = /^\d\s*$/;
var originalLines = text.split('\n');
var lines = [];
for (var index = 0; index != originalLines.length; ++index)
{
var orig = originalLines[index];
var match = numberRegex.exec(orig);
lines.push(match ? parseInt(orig) + 1 : orig);
}
Then the converted text you want is provided by:
lines.join('\n')
