# time shift for srt subtitles

BEGIN {
    ($dt = shift @ARGV) != 0
        or print "Usage: $0 SECONDS file" and exit;
}

s{ (\d+) : (\d\d) : (\d\d) , (\d+) }
 { my @t = ($1, $2, $3, $4 + $dt * 1E3);
   $t[2] += $t[3] / 1E3; $t[3] %= 1E3;
   $t[1] += $t[2] / 60;  $t[2] %= 60;
   $t[0] += $t[1] / 60;  $t[1] %= 60;
   sprintf '%02d:%02d:%02d,%03d', @t;

Hi, thanks for your idea for subtitle shifting. Unfortunately your code has a bug for negative time shifts. Here is alternative code that avoids the bug alltogether by first calculating the new time (in ms) and working out the other time values from there. `s{ (\d+) : (\d\d) : (\d\d) , (\d+) } { $time = $1 * 3600E3 + $2 * 60E3 + ($3 + $dt) * 1E3 + $4; $h = int $time / 3600E3; $time %= 3600E3; $m = int $time / 60E3; $time %= 60E3; $s = int $time / 1E3; $time %= 1E3; $ms = int $time; sprintf "%02d:%02d:%02d,%03d", $h, $m, $s, $ms; }gxe;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

by "srt" tables - do you mean closed caption data?	[reply]

Not tables but subtitles :) I mean this specification: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubRip Those files have .srt extension.	[reply]


No such thing as a small change
