Answer 1

I got it from stack overflow link.... I forgot that link... code in that link is this-
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"srtfilename" ofType:#"srt"];
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:path encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:NULL];
NSScanner *scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:string];
while (![scanner isAtEnd])
{
#autoreleasepool
{
NSString *indexString;
(void) [scanner scanUpToCharactersFromSet:[NSCharacterSet newlineCharacterSet] intoString:&indexString];
NSString *startString;
(void) [scanner scanUpToString:#" --> " intoString:&startString];
// My string constant doesn't begin with spaces because scanners
// skip spaces and newlines by default.
(void) [scanner scanString:#"-->" intoString:NULL];
NSString *endString;
(void) [scanner scanUpToCharactersFromSet:[NSCharacterSet newlineCharacterSet] intoString:&endString];
NSString *textString;
// (void) [scanner scanUpToCharactersFromSet:[NSCharacterSet newlineCharacterSet] intoString:&textString];
// BEGIN EDIT
(void) [scanner scanUpToString:#"\r\n\r\n" intoString:&textString];
textString = [textString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"\r\n" withString:#" "];
// Addresses trailing space added if CRLF is on a line by itself at the end of the SRT file
textString = [textString stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]];
// END EDIT
NSDictionary *dictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
indexString , #"index",
startString, #"start",
endString , #"end",
textString , #"text",
nil];
NSLog(#"%#", dictionary); } }
I did parse srt file by this... I added UITextView on movie player(MPMovieControlStyleNone) view.... I did change text automatically by using startString and endString using timer... I can only play and pause the player by custom play and pause button...
