Previously, Kuroro posted a similiar question in this forum under "Koohii Lounge"  but that thread has disappeared due to the forum upgrade (I guess...) 

Quote:早かったわね\N{\fn方正中倩简体}{\fs50}真早呢

However I noticed that in every line between the Japanese and the Chinese part these characters '\N{\fn方正中倩简体}{\fs50}' always appear, so I was wondering if there was a way to have the software automatically delete them, and what follows, in every line.

ReneSac suggested the following Regex search and replace using Sublime Text:

Quote:\\N\{\\fn方正中倩简体\}\{\\fs50\}.*$

Is it possible to delete just the Chinese characters which always appear before
\N{\fnMS Gothic}{\fs12}{\b0}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\3c&H2F2F2F&}{\4c&H000000&}  

Quote:是 是\N{\fnMS Gothic}{\fs12}{\b0}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\3c&H2F2F2F&}{\4c&H000000&}はいはい…
老师\N{\fnMS Gothic}{\fs12}{\b0}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\3c&H2F2F2F&}{\4c&H000000&}先生！

I am not familiar with Regex string expression, and wonder if there is a way to delete only the Chinese part in the above situation?

Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

EDIT: ファブリス have decided to return the Off Topics threads from Koohii Lounge back here. This is Kuroro's thread http://forum.koohii.com/thread-13082.html

Try:

Find What: ^.*\\N
Replace With: \\N

This will replace your example text with:

Quote:\N{\fnMS Gothic}{\fs12}{\b0}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\3c&H2F2F2F&}{\4c&H000000&}はいはい…
\N{\fnMS Gothic}{\fs12}{\b0}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\3c&H2F2F2F&}{\4c&H000000&}先生！

Is ok?

You could download aegisub and manually delete the Chinese lines.

Thank you, aldebrn. Your suggestion works. Brilliant!

After fiddling with the string expressions, it is possible to remove the Chinese lines in-between the bilingual subtitles by using Regex Match all characters between two strings syntax as follows:
(?<=beginningstringname)(.*\n?)(?=endstringname)

EXAMPLE:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.18,0:00:19.19,con,NTP,0,0,0,,老师\N{\fn方正中倩简体}{\fs50}先生！

Find What: (?<=con,NTP,0,0,0,,)(.*\n?)(?=\\N)
Replace With:

EDIT: added image file

I'm not so savvy with look-behinds, but this should work:


Replace:  ^(.*?con,NTP,0,0,0,,)(.*?)(\\N.*$)
Replace with: \1\3

see here for info on how back references work.

Oi, where are you finding these bilingual Cn–Jp subs? They look fun ?

えっと、えっと、..... from the Chinese private websites.

Just added an image link (above) to show how it looks like. What do you think?

Kuroro got some of them from kitsunekko.

Thank you for your suggestion, but that syntax does not work.

Hmm, works for me in text wrangler.  I think some regex uses $ for backreferences so maybe this will work for you:

Replace:  ^(.*?con,NTP,0,0,0,,)(.*?)(\\N.*$)
Replace with: $1$3

Are you just describing a solution you found, or are you asking a question about this regex?

やった！ It works beautifully this time. サンキュー

Both - describing a solution and asking a question at the same time.
Just curious to know, how many ways to achieve the same result.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
