Expression Experts! Count Number of Groups within Shape Layer
Hello all, I need some expression help.
I have a shape layer that has multiple shapes within the “Contents” group.
I need a variable that is the total number of groups within “Contents”
This seems like an easy task, but after trying a couple different methods… no luck. How can I accomplish this? Thank you in advance!

Like this maybe:
p = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1")("Contents");
nGroups = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= p.numProperties; i++){
if (p(i).name.indexOf("Group") == 0) nGroups++;
}
nGroups -
this did the trick! Thank you Dan!
