How can I copy the contents inside a text file to SourceText property of a text layer by scripting?

[Andrei Popa]

I’m not sure what your level of scripting is, but you should be able to understand this and even use the function in your own cases.


var myFile = File.openDialog("Please select a file");
var myLayer = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0];
copyFileToLayer(myFile, myLayer);

function copyFileToLayer(myFile, myLayer){
if(myFile.open("r")){
var myString = myFile.read();
myLayer("ADBE Text Properties")("ADBE Text Document").setValue(myString);
myFile.close();
}else{
alert(myFile.error);
}
}
