Hi Everybody!
I have this text layer and a shape layer at the right of the text layer. i want when the text change that my shape layer follow the text layer… For example if it’s i write “Hello Dear” the shape layer will be at 25 pixel of the end of the text layer…but if i write i love apple the shape layer will still be a 25 pixel of the text layer….. i’m struggling with that since a moment right now…

Hi!
What you’re looking for is the sourceRectAtTime() expression. You have the ability to check the width and height of a layer—including text layers.
// Apply this expression to the position of the triangle layer
txt = thisComp.layer(“THE TEXT”); // this is your text layer
p = txt.transform.position;
w = txt.sourceRectAtTime(0).width;
h = txt.sourceRectAtTime(0).height * .5;
padding = 25;
p + [w, -h] + [padding, 0]
