Append text style settings to existing source text expression
Hello!
I have the following expression applied to the source text property of a layer:
var src = thisComp.layer("INPUT").text.sourceText;
var key1 = src.split(" ")[0];
var key2 = src.split(" ")[1]; // used in a different layer
var key3 = src.split(" ")[2]; // used in a different layer
key1I have three layers set-up like this.
I want to be able to control all layer’s font size with a single slider, so I thought of usingvar fSize = thisComp.layer("Controllers").effect("Font Size")(1); // Slider
style.setFontSize(fSize)However, I don’t know how or if it is even possible to append this to my original expression.
Thank you

Try it this way:
var src = thisComp.layer("INPUT").text.sourceText;
var key1 = src.split(" ")[0];
var key2 = src.split(" ")[1]; // used in a different layer
var key3 = src.split(" ")[2]; // used in a different layer
var txt = key1
var fSize = thisComp.layer("Controllers").effect("Font Size")(1); // Slider
style.setText(txt).setFontSize(fSize) -
Using setText() did the trick.
Thank you as always, Dan!
