Parse Counting up Source text use for scaling a shape layer
ok… I have a layer that has numbers counting up. I’d like to read those numbers and turn them into a 0-100 scale on value on X. I’m not sure what I’m missing out here. Tips would be helpful!
txt = thisComp.layer(" |- 22,166,576").text.sourceText;
sText = parseInt(txt);
xScale = linear(sText, 30000000, 50000000, 0, 100);
yScale = 100;[xScale, yScale]

It works for me. Is the name of your text layer really ” |- 22,166,576″ ?

lol.. Yeah. Using Layer groups from AEScripts and it renames the layers like that. The text layer is that number.
As for the expression, for some reason it just spits out the number ’12’ and sits there.

Here’s a test file to trouble shoot if anyone can.

parseInt() will stop as soon as it runs into a comma.
