[Tutor] Newbie Trouble Processing SRT Strings In Text File

[Danny Yoo]

[code cut]


Hi Matt,

It looks like you're trying to write your own srt parser as part of this
problem.  If you're in a hurry, you may want to look at existing parsers
that people have written.  For example:

    https://github.com/byroot/pysrt


But, even though it successfully kills these additional newlines that

Rather than immediately print the string, you may want to accumulate your
results in a list.  You can then do some processing on your list of strings.
