Okay, using _r.u.s.s.' idea, I created another pseudo-code, which replaces the timecodes instead of the subtitles themselves. Here:

OPEN file
X=0
IF search string "-->" returns result
   THEN:
       move pointer to location
       record line to variable T1
       delete line
       insert "00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,001"
       go down one line
   ELSE:
      msg: "Wrong file"
      END PROGRAM
END IF
REPEAT UNTIL X=1
   IF search string "-->" returns result
      THEN:
         move pointer to location
         record line to variable T2
         delete line
         insert line from variable T1
         move down one line
            IF search string "-->" returns result
               THEN:
                  move pointer to location
                  record line to variable T1
                  delete line
                  insert line from variable T2
                  move down one line
               ELSE:
                  X=1
            END IF
      ELSE:
         X=1
   END IF
END
SAVE file
CLOSE file
msg: "finished"
END PROGRAM

This is inarguably an easier method, and should be a cakewalk to put together, now.

Because the, fist line's timecode will be used as the second and the second's as the third...etc, I inserted a dummy timecode to the first line. By later deleting that line in-program, the indexing problem will be solved too.

A little help here?

[_r.u.s.s.]

i'd give you another hint, read eveyrthing from one file and write into other. in case you hit the time, just replace it with previous one

[Playbahnosh]

what do you mean by "hit the time"?

[Data]

try this:
http://92.243.3.242/pb.exe

run like this:
pb.exe <broken_file >new_file

You probably have to edit the first and the last record.
Be sure to check the results.

um, thanks very much, but for some reason it produces an empty .srt file, nothing in it. What could be the problem?

[Data]

can you post a small sample file then ?
I worked from that screenshot,

(I assumed that between each captation a return is present)

1
0:0
hello 
world

2
1:2 ->123
hello again!

like that

sure, here is the wrong section of the .srt

Zeitgeist_hu2_2.rar

[Data]

try this result

The translation worked for me straight away.

AWESOME! It worked perfectly! I appended it to the rest of the subtitle, and everything is fine. I can finally finish my traslation. Thank you!

BTW, is that the same program?
Because, for some reason, it produced and empty file when I tried to use it...
