Find selected Layers with part of name.

[Fabian Brugger]

Is it possible to get to all selected layers that have, for example, the name scale in its name.

So the layer would be called something like: Frame1_Icon1_Scale

And i want to find all layers with the ending Scale or with Scale in its name anywhere (whatever is possible) to animate it through a script.

I write this but it just finds the exact name:

var comp = app.project.activeItem;

var layers = comp.selectedLayers;

for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {

if (layers[i].name = “scale”) {

var scalelayerkeys = layers[i].property(“Transform”).property(“Scale”)

scalelayerkeys.setValueAtTime(0,[0,0]);

scalelayerkeys.setValueAtTime(0.4,[110,110]);

scalelayerkeys.setValueAtTime(0.7,[100,100]);

}

}

try:

if (layers[i].name.indexOf("scale")>-1) {

or for case insensitive matching:

if (layers[i].name.match(/scale/gi)!==null) {

[Fabian Brugger]

The .indexOf version does exactly what i want.

But will use the one with case insensitive matching so it has less possibilities for errors

Thank you!
