  Adding a symbol to this expression

  Posted by Simon Jones on November 19, 2019 at 2:53 pm

  I’m using the following expression to generate values for counters used within a game (thanks to Dan Ebbert and Walter Soyka) :

  frames = 15;
  clockStart = 1;
  rate = (1/thisComp.frameDuration) / frames;
  clockTime = clockStart + rate*(time – inPoint);
  Math.floor(clockTime);

  The question I have is that I wish to add a £ or $ symbol in fornt of the generated number. Anyone know how i’d do that?

  Cheers

  Simon

  it’s all about the X and the Y

  If its a field that accepts strings you just need to add (“any string”) + before the result (which is Math.floor…)

  such as
  frames = 15;
clockStart = 1;
rate = (1/thisComp.frameDuration) / frames;
clockTime = clockStart + rate*(time - inPoint);
("$")+Math.floor(clockTime);
