Help need to convert bi-lingual files in sub-title format
I have a large number of files in the standard subtitle format with the additional proviso that the files are bi-lingual i.e. English and a second language: in this case Hindi. A small sample is given below:
Code:
00 04 07 08
00 04 11 00
I mean very high fever...
He even vomited.
00 04 07 08
00 04 11 00
मैं कहता हूँ कि बहुत ही तेज   बुख़ार....
उन्हों ने उलटी भी कर दी थी  
00 04 11 08
00 04 14 00

Blood tests have also been done.
00 04 11 08
00 04 14 00

ख़ून की जाँच भी की है

What I need is as under
Code:
I mean very high fever... He even vomited.=मैं कहता हूँ कि बहुत ही तेज   बुख़ार....उन्हों ने उलटी भी कर दी थी

that the time code is deleted and the English text would be on one single line and the corresponding Hindi text be provided on the same line with equal to as a delimiter
I have written a macro to the job, but since the data is huge, a Perl or Awk script would run much faster.
Many thanks
A small sample for testing is provided below:
Code:
00 04 20 05
