Getting Int instead of string from split();
This code works fine in a separate project, but in the current one, it errors with the index number of the layer as the result (which the source text layer doesn’t like because its not a string). Whats going on here? It usually outputs a string…
t = thisComp.layer("SourceText").text.sourceText;
word = t.split("\r");
word[index-thisComp.layer("SourceText").effect("Index_Offset")("Slider")] -

That expression looks like it’s loaded with danger. This version should corral things a bit:
t = thisComp.layer(“SourceText”).text.sourceText;
word = t.split(“\r”);
idx = clamp(Math.round(index-thisComp.layer(“SourceText”).effect(“Index_Offset”)(“Slider”)),0,word.length-1);
word[idx]Dan
