Compare sourceText

[Avinash Ramanath]

Is there a way to compare source text of the current layer with the text layer of another comp. I need to use this information to control some keyframe values
currently am using the below method but not getting any results.

var chkText = comp("Comp 1").layer("Line_1")("ADBE Text Properties")("ADBE Text Document");
if(text.sourceText === chkText){
text.sourceText = "True"
}
else{
text.sourceText = "False"
}

I think you just need to add .value when you reference the text. I’d do it like this:

var chkText = comp(“Comp 1”).layer(“Line_1”)(“ADBE Text Properties”)(“ADBE Text Document”).value;
text.sourceText.value === chkText ? “True” : “False”;
