Change the colour of a word in a block of text based on its length
I have a block of text, on around 20 lines, what I am trying to do is change the colour of a word based on its length, so all words with a length of 6 (or greater than) characters are RED.
Should be simple enough but I can’t seem to figure out an expression to call the word length in sourceText.
Can anyone help?

You could add a fill color Animator, then add an Expression Selector, set Based On to Words, and use this for the Amount expression:
words = text.sourceText.replace(/^\s+/, "").split(/\s+/);
if (words[textIndex-1].length >= 6 ) 100 else 0
