find words in the expression box
Hi. I have an array [“app”, “project”] and I want to find any of those words in a string “app.project.item(2).layer(“Dark Gray Solid 3”).property(“ADBE Transform Group”).property(“ADBE Rotate Z”)”
I found this
match(/\b**insert the word**\b/);but I just cant put a variable on it… I’ve try to set a for() loop so it can look for all the words of the array on the string but I dont know how to do it… -

So I found the split function to split a string in words and make an arry, that way I can just search for a match and in return I get the curLayer. I’ve use an
if(curProp.expressionEnable == true){ exprAry.push(curProp)}so the loop only gets the expressions that are enabled. But for some reason it also gets some of the expressions box that are disabled… when I search for “color” it also gets me all the layers that have a fill color or a color picker…This is my script:
var proj = app.project;app.beginUndoGroup("undo");
var exprAry = new Array();for(i=1;i<=proj.numItems;i++){
var curItem = proj.item(i);
if(curItem instanceof CompItem){
for(q=1;q<=curItem.numLayers;q++){
var curLayer = curItem.layer(q);
for(w=1;w<=curLayer.numProperties;w++){
var curProp1 = curLayer.property(w);
for(e=1;e<=curProp1.numProperties;e++){
var curProp2 = curProp1.property(e);
if(curProp2.expressionEnabled == true){
exprAry.push(getWords (curProp2));
}
for(a=1;a<=curProp2.numProperties;a++){
var curProp3 = curProp2.property(a);
if(curProp3.expressionEnabled == true){
exprAry.push(getWords (curProp3));
}
for(s=1;s<=curProp3.numProperties;s++){
var curProp4 = curProp3.property(s);
if(curProp4.expressionEnabled == true){
exprAry.push(getWords (curProp4));
}
}
}
}
}
for(m=0;m
