Need to ADD missing hyphen on second line when hyphen only exists on first line only:
24
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:04,893
- How adorable.
[both laughing]
48
00:02:53,798 --> 00:02:54,758
[clears throat]
49
00:02:57,552 --> 00:02:59,971
- [clears throat] Phil.
What can I get you?
168
00:07:01,421 --> 00:07:03,048
Really?
- If that's possible, yeah.
169
00:07:03,089 --> 00:07:04,007
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Here's what I thought might work [no cigar]:
Find: ^([- ])(?=.*\r?\n([A-Za-z\[]))
Replace: - $1
The CORRECT end results would be as follows with both lines having hyphens:
24
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:04,893
- How adorable.
- [both laughing]
48
00:02:53,798 --> 00:02:54,758
[clears throat]
49
00:02:57,552 --> 00:02:59,971
- [clears throat] Phil.
- What can I get you?
Thanks in Advance, Hank

Try (regex101):
^(-\s .*?)^([^-])
with flags MULTILINE and SINGLELINE. Substitution is string:
$1- $2
CodePudding user response：
You want to match a line that starts with a - followed by a line that doesn't start with -. Use a negative lookahead to implement the "doesn't start with" criteria.
Then you want to add a - to the end of whatever this matched.
Find: ^-.*$\r?\n(?!- )(?=.)
Replace: $0-
