    That’s a little vague. If the layer is a solid and you have a recent version of AE, it could be as simple as this:

    L = thisComp.layer(“text”);
    r = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
    x = (r.width/width)*100;
    [x,value[1]]

    or maybe this:

    L = thisComp.layer(“text”);
    r = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
    border = 10;
    x = (r.width/width)*100 + 2*border;
    [x,value[1]]
