# fsub
`fsub` is a Python script for cleaning, editing and fixing a SubRip (.srt) file
# Installation
Through Python's pip:
```
pip install fsub
```
# Usage
```
usage: fsub [-h] [-f F] [-c] [-s MS] [-n] [-j] [-u] [-r | -p] [-b B] [-e E] file [file ...]
Fix, edit and clean SubRip (.srt) files.
positional arguments:
file list of input files (they all must be SubRip files)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f F, --config F use F as the config file (by default, on Unix it is:
"$HOME/.config/fsubrc"; on Windows it is: "%APPDATA%\fsubrc")
-r, --replace edit files in-place (--join will delete joined files too), instead of the
default behavior of outputing results into files prefixed with "out-"
-p, --stdout dump results to stdout, and do not edit nor write any file
processing:
Flags that specify an action to be taken. Many may be specified.
-c, --clean remove subtitles matching regular expressions listed in the config file
(this is the default behavior if no other flag is passed)
-s MS, --shift MS shift all subtitles by MS milliseconds, which may be positive or negative
-n, --no-html strip HTML tags from subtitles content
-j, --join join all files into the first, shifting their time accordingly
-u, --cut-out cut the specified section from the file(s) into new files
sectioning:
Flags that specify a section to work in. They accept either a subtitle number or a time
stamp in the SubRip format ("<hours>:<minutes>:<seconds>,<milliseconds>", where hours,
minutes, seconds are 2-zero padded while milliseconds is 3-zero padded). fsub will not
modify subtitles outside this range, except while joining the files.
-b B, --begin B specify section beginning (inclusive)
-e E, --end E specify section end (inclusive)
```
# Testing
In the project's root directory, run all the tests with:
```
python -m unittest tests
```
Or, just the unit/integration tests:
```
python -m unittest tests.unit
python -m unittest tests.integration
```
# Scripted API
An example of calling the program from Python:
```
import fsub
fsub.run('-c', 'test.srt')
```
# Features
