Count the number of characters up until the second incident of a specific char.
Let’s assume I have this text: “THIS IS MY EXAMPLE TEXT.”
I want to count the number of characters until the text reaches the second incident of a space. E.g. up to the second space, there are 6 characters in the text.
I want to use a slider to specify the number of spaces and then use the amount of characters to create a substring.

Like this maybe:
s = Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"));
txt = value;
n = 0;
for (i = 0; i<txt.length; i++){
if (txt[i] == " "){
n++;
if (n == s) break;
}
}
txt.substr(0,i) -
Thank you Dan!
