===Python code to be run on bash (in Terminal)===

To extract a single word:


<source lang="python">
import re # module for regular expressions

def convert_time(timestring):
    """ Converts a string into seconds """
    nums = map(float, re.findall(r'\d+', timestring))
    return 3600*nums[0] + 60*nums[1] + nums[2] + nums[3]/1000

with open("Goldsmith.srt") as f:
    lines = f.readlines()

times_texts = []
current_times , current_text = None, ""
for line in lines:
    times = re.findall("[0-9]*:[0-9]*:[0-9]*,[0-9]*", line)
    if times != []:
        current_times = map(convert_time, times)
    elif line == '\n':
        times_texts.append((current_times, current_text))
        current_times, current_text = None, ""
    elif current_times is not None:
        current_text = current_text + line.replace("\n"," ")

# print (times_texts)

from collections import Counter
whole_text = " ".join([text for (time, text) in times_texts])

# print (counter.most_common(10))

# Find single words:

    """ Finds all 'exact' (t_start, t_end) for a word """
    matches = [re.search(word, text)
               for (t,text) in times_texts]
    return [(t1 + m.start()*(t2-t1)/len(text) - padding,

             for m,((t1,t2),text) in zip(matches, times_texts)
