In order to work with all possible subtitle sequence numbers you'll need to use \d+ instead of \d\d in your grep patterns so your two search patterns should be:
(^\d+\n\d.+\n.+)\n\n\d+\n\d.+\n([a-z]+[\W]*)\n and (^\d+\n\d.+ )(.+)\n(.+)\n\n\d+\n\d.+ (.+)\n([a-z]+[\W]*)\n On Monday, April 7, 2025 at 4:12:23 PM UTC-7 Roland Küffner wrote: > A similar but slightly shorter version: > > search: > (^\d\d\n\d.+\n.+)\n\n\d\d\n\d.+\n([a-z]+[\W]*)\n > > replace: > \1 \2\n > > - turn "Case sensitive" on > - currently works only if the subtitle text is always on one line > - currently does not account for differing amounts of empty lines between > the text blocks > - the new end of the time stamp is deleted - if you can live with that … > > … if not, you could extend the pattern to replace that too > search > (^\d\d\n\d.+ )(.+)\n(.+)\n\n\d\d\n\d.+ (.+)\n([a-z]+[\W]*)\n > > replace > \1\4\n\3 \5\n > > Regards, Roland > > On Sun, Apr 6, 2025 at 4:41 PM Otto Munters <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Example of a subtitle from which I want to move the single word in the >> second timestamp to the end of the subtitle in the first timestamp. >> Is it possible to do that with a regex in BBedit?
