ExtendScript AE: Identifying pieces of a string in an “edittext” box.
This may be a little obscure, but I’m trying to achieve the following:
var ab = doThis;
var cd = doThat;If a user types a single string of “abcd” into my “edittext” box, is there a way that I can identify the “ab” and “cd” separately?
Best,
Andy. -

You can use indexOf() to detect the presence of a specific substring within a string. For example:
if (myText.indexOf(“ab”) > -1) alert(“Found ‘ab'”);
There may be better ways–it depends on the range of possible formatting of your input text.
