Changing text color into an expression
Hi, I’m a total newbie at using expression and I’m stuck
I’ve copy/paste a code expression for a counter from this site ( https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/227/21306 )
and had a text at the end using :
prefix + outStr + decimals + "M";
}else{
prefix + s + "M";
}
The thing is, I can’t figure out how to change the color of that last letter “M”
If you guys have any solutions, please help me
Thanks

One way that should work would be to add a Fill Color Animator, change the Range Selector’s Units to Index, and use this expression for Start:
text.sourceText.length-1
and this for End:
text.sourceText.length

Dan, as I said I’m a beginner at coding expression

If you twirl open your text layer, you should see an Animate dropdown where you can select Fill Color (then RGB). That will create a Range Selector, which has the Start and End properties, where the expressions go. If you twirl open the Advanced section of the Range Selector, you’ll see the Units control, which you should set to Index.

Reviving an old thread. wanted to change the last character of my text to a different colour. This works perfectly
text.sourceText.length-1
end
text.sourceText.length
However, if my text has a soft return (multiple lines) the expression doesn’t carry to the next line.
text.sourceText.length-1text.sourceText.length

Try this:
txt = text.sourceText;
txt.length – txt.split(/\r/).lengthDan
