Animating first character of line

[Dan Ebberts]

There’s probably an easier way, but try this:

txt = text.sourceText.value;
s = txt.split("\r");
tot = 0;
val = 0;
startIdx = 1;
for (i = 0; i < s.length; i++){
  line = s[i];
  tot += s[i].length;
  if (textIndex <= tot && ((textIndex - startIdx) == 0)){
    val = 100;
    break;
  }
  startIdx += s[i].length;
}
val

Not exactly what i needed. It selects every character, but i need it to select every first chatacter of a line when i change startIdx

I’m not sure why you would change startIdx, but this is what it looks like on my system:
