I have a .srt file (subtitle file) with the following text:




Chapitre 1 : Systèmes d'équations linéaires et matrices




However when I import it into Mathematica, using:



subRip = ReadList[subRibFile, String];


I get:




Chapitre 1 : Systèmes d'équations linéaires et matrices




How can I avoid that ?

  • What do you get if you do Import[ subRibFile, "Text"]?

  • @JasonB. Thanks for your comment. In that case, I get one string which is not seperated by lines... but the output is correctly decoded. :)

This is a bit of a workaround, using "import" but it works !



subRipIm = Import[subRibFile, "Text", CharacterEncoding -> "UTF8"];
subRip = DeleteCases[StringSplit[ToString[subRipIm], "n"], ""];

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
