| .SYNOPSIS | |
| Fast conversion of Microsoft Stream VTT subtitle file to SRT format. | |
| .DESCRIPTION | |
| Uses select-string instead of get-content to improve speed 2 magnitudes. | |
| .PARAMETER Path | |
| Specifies the path to the VTT text file (mandatory). | |
| .PARAMETER OutFile | |
| Specifies the path to the output SRT text file (defaults to input file with .srt). | |
| .EXAMPLE |
I've been recommending people use NerdFonts in their terminals for a while, but using the extra characters ends up being rather a pain. I have to look up characters in their web cheat-sheet, and then I either end up with a whole bunch of "$([char]0xf1ed)$([char]0xf00d)" in my profile scripts, which is impossible to read, or I have to translate the hex to decimal so I can type the ALT codes in my editor...
So today I fixed it, using PANSIES (the PowerShell ANSI Escape Sequences module).
In PANSIES output (i.e. via the Write-Host, or by using New-Text in a string), you can embed named entities like in html. But unlike HTML, Pansies entities are extensible. So I wrote a little script to re-use the css names for the nerd-font characters and generate entities.

My preferred code style is 2-space K&R. This is intended to provide a justification for this style.
K&R style has the following properties:
