Hi,
I am using the time-stamps of the labels within a file to study the timing of the audio, and would like to be able to reformat the .txt output.
Currently, the output looks like this:
0.019955 0.190860 label 1
0.019955 1.187302 label 2
0.353943 1.023297 label 3
and I would like it to look like this:
label 1 label 2 label 3
0.019955 0.19086 0.019955 1.187302 0.353943 1.023297
Would it be possible to change the settings so that the text files output in this format?
The formatting that you see in the file is the format that Audacity uses to create and keep track of labels. There is no provision within Audacity for other label formats.
You can probably reformat the file uses Excel or similar. Note that if you reformat the label file then you won’t be able to import the file back into Audacity.
If you create labels without any text in the labels, then they will be exported in the form:
0.592109 1.671837
2.774785 4.063492
6.629297 7.267846
8.928073 9.740771
If you have a text editor that allow string replacement (string substitution) then you should be able to automatically remove all of the “New Line” characters to give you:
0.592109 1.671837 2.774785 4.063492 6.629297 7.267846 8.928073 9.740771
I think that on Windows, "Notepad++ can do that http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
