Details

The SubRip text files format subtitles with four components separated by a blank line:

  1. A numeric counter identifying each sequential subtitle

  2. The time that the subtitle should appear on the screen, followed by --> and the time it should disappear

  3. Subtitle text itself on one or more lines

  4. A blank line containing no text, indicating the end of this subtitle

Examples

# read and write without line breaks
x <- read_srt(srt_example(), collapse = " ")
write_srt(x, tempfile(fileext = ".srt"), wrap = FALSE)
