Wordfile for subtitles files

Gabarito · Feb 01, 2018#12018-02-01T11:05+00:00

Hi.

I know that it isn't a language at all, but I'd like to have different colors for SRT subtitle files.
It seems to be a very easy task, but I don't know how it could be done.

Subtitle files has this syntax (from "An Affair to Remember (1957)" movie):

1
00:02:10,005 --> 00:02:13,676
While the New York Stock Exchange
showed signs of restlessness,

2
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,971
there was little or no uneasiness
on the part of optimists.

3
00:02:17,054 --> 00:02:19,141
Here's good news for you bachelors.

4
00:02:19,183 --> 00:02:22,437
Competition for pretty girls
will definitely be easier

5
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,859
now that Nickie Ferrante, the big
dame hunter, is going out of circulation.

The challenge is to put lines with subtitle number to one color, with time codes to other and text lines to another color.
Like this:

1
00:02:10,005 --> 00:02:13,676
While the New York Stock Exchange
showed signs of restlessness,

2
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,971
there was little or no uneasiness
on the part of optimists.

3
00:02:17,054 --> 00:02:19,141
Here's good news for you bachelors.

4
00:02:19,183 --> 00:02:22,437
Competition for pretty girls
will definitely be easier

5
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,859
now that Nickie Ferrante, the big
dame hunter, is going out of circulation.

I tried to adapt other language, like Ruby, to achieve the goal, but failed.
I appreciate any help.

Try this wordfile:

Code: Select all

/L20"Subtitles" Noquote File Extensions = SRT
/Delimiters = 
/Function String = "%[0-2][0-9]:[,0-9:]+ --> [0-2][0-9]:[,0-9:]+$"
/C1"Time codes"
** 00: 01: 02: 03: 04:
-->

Note: The second line must end with a single space, but can be also end with two spaces or with two spaces and a horizontal tab.

Subtitle numbers are syntax highlighted with color defined for color group Numbers. It is not possible to take the context into account, i.e. get a number highlighted only as subtitle number if it is placed at start of a line which does not containing anything else than the number. So numbers in text and all strings starting with a digit after a space (or tab) are also highlighted with the settings defined for color group Numbers.

Time codes are highlighted with the color defined for color group Time codes which consists of 5 substring definitions and "word" -->. Again the context cannot be taken into account. So if a string starting with one of the 5 substrings or --> is found by UltraEdit within text lines, those strings are also highlighted with color group Time codes.

Everything else is highlighted with color group Normal Text of which foreground and background colors can be customized like for the other color groups.

The color groups Comments, Alternate Comments and Strings can be ignored as not used by this language definition.
