Sorting a .srt file for vlc player

goetz

Put each line in a single QString, put the QString into a QStringList and sort it afterwards:

@
QStringList pauseTimes;

pauseTimes << QString("%1,00-->%2,999").arg(strc).arg(strc);

pauseTimes.sort();

QTextStream out(file);
out << pauseTimes.join("\n");

i commented these lines

@ // QTextStream out(AjayFileD);
//out<<"\n"<<strc<<",000"<<"-->"<<strc<<",999"<<"\n";@

and i added this code
@QStringList pauseTimes;

pauseTimes << QString("%1,00--&gt;%2,999").arg(strc).arg(strc);
 
pauseTimes.sort();
 
QTextStream out(AjayFileD);
out << pauseTimes.join("\n");@

thank you sir, but i'm getting this error
"collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"

Go to the windows/tab with the complete output of your compiler and linker. It tells you which symbols are missing. Without that information we cannot advise further.

ajayzizou

the previous error “collect2: ld returned 1 exit status” is solved,it was just a typing error,i'm getting the subtitles but it is not getting sorted,even though there is no error,pls can you suggest

ajayzizou

also I've used @out << "\n" << pauseTimes.join("\n") << "\n" ;
@ instead of just @out << pauseTimes.join("\n");@

giesbert

perhaps you can post your current code and the result you now get?

ajayzizou

@ QStringList pauseTimes;

 pauseTimes << QString("%1,000--&gt;%2,999").arg(strc).arg(strc);
  pauseTimes.sort();

QTextStream out(AjayFileD);

out << "\n" << pauseTimes.join("\n") << "\n" ;@
the same code suggested by volker, and the result
00:00:00,000-->00:00:00,999

00:15:34,000-->00:15:34,999

00:34:39,000-->00:34:39,999

00:05:28,000-->00:05:28,999

1:32:35,000-->1:32:35,999

1:15:11,000-->1:15:11,999

00:12:54,000-->00:12:54,999
as you can see the pause times are not getting sorted in ascending order,i think it's just some small change but I'm stuck and btw i'm a beginner

Hi,

whatever you do, I checked the following code and it's output:

@
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QStringList pauseTimes;
pauseTimes << QLatin1String("00:00:00,000—>00:00:00,999");
pauseTimes << QLatin1String("00:15:34,000—>00:15:34,999");
pauseTimes << QLatin1String("00:34:39,000—>00:34:39,999");
pauseTimes << QLatin1String("00:05:28,000—>00:05:28,999");
pauseTimes << QLatin1String("1:32:35,000—>1:32:35,999");
pauseTimes << QLatin1String("1:15:11,000—>1:15:11,999");
pauseTimes << QLatin1String("00:12:54,000—>00:12:54,999");

std::wcout << std::endl <<  (wchar_t*)(pauseTimes.join("\n").utf16()) << std::endl ;
std::wcout << L"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" << std::endl;
pauseTimes.sort();
std::wcout << std::endl <<  (wchar_t*)(pauseTimes.join("\n").utf16()) << std::endl ;

return 0;

}
@

The output was:

@

00:00:00,000ù>00:00:00,999
00:15:34,000ù>00:15:34,999
00:34:39,000ù>00:34:39,999
00:05:28,000ù>00:05:28,999
1:32:35,000ù>1:32:35,999
1:15:11,000ù>1:15:11,999
00:12:54,000ù>00:12:54,999


00:00:00,000ù>00:00:00,999
00:05:28,000ù>00:05:28,999
00:12:54,000ù>00:12:54,999
00:15:34,000ù>00:15:34,999
00:34:39,000ù>00:34:39,999
1:15:11,000ù>1:15:11,999
1:32:35,000ù>1:32:35,999

For me, the output looks sorted....

ajayzizou

yeah thanks a lot,this is what i want,however i'm not entering the pause time manually,the pause time will be in const char *strc as soon as i press the pause button of the player,i'll use your code and post if i have any problem
thanks once again

giesbert

is the content of the array really 8 strings? or perhaps one multiline string?

ajayzizou

no,i've just hit the pause button 8 times,so eight outputs,i can get this written into the file as many times as i like,so it is not just 8 strings ,the only problem is sorting and i'll use your code for that

goetz

You will need to store the stop points in a QStringList - or re-read the file, add the new line, sort an overwrite the existing data. You don't expect the file to sort automagically, do you?

ajayzizou

thank you,i'll try
