  Change text layer name based on content (project wide)

  Posted by Chris Meadmore on November 3, 2014 at 11:11 am

  Hi,

  Re-posted from else where as I lost the thread!

  I’m in need of a script that will automatically change text layer names, project wide, based on it’s existing content… at the press of a button. It will also need to add a prefix “^” and only include the first 4 words without spaces or symbols.

  For example, content would be:

  Ben just voted no in the general election

  Layer name then becomes:

  ^Benjustvotedno

  I’ve been trawling the internet and haven’t found a resource that talks about a process like this.

  Many thanks for any assistance!
