Rename text layer name based on the text content.

[Andrei Popa]

Script:

crtComp = app.project.activeItem;

for (var i=1;i<=crtComp.numLayers;i++){
crtComp.layer(i).name = crtComp.layer(i).text.sourceText.value;
}

Thank you Andrei Popa, This is exactly I want.

I think loop is breaking when there is another type of layer objects such as solid or shapes layer in between the text layers

example:
text layer 1 > renamed
text layer 2 > renamed
text layer 3 > renamed
solid layer
text layer 4 > did not renamed
text layer 5 > did not renamed

Try this:

crtComp = app.project.activeItem;

for (var i=1;i<=crtComp.numLayers;i++){
currentLayer = crtComp.layer(i);
if(currentLayer typeof TextLayer){
currentLayer.name = currentLayer.text.sourceText.value;
}
}

Sorry. I corrected this but then pasted the code from the clipboard. That one was not corrected ????

crtComp = app.project.activeItem;

for (var i=1;i<=crtComp.numLayers;i++){
currentLayer = crtComp.layer(i);
if(currentLayer instanceof TextLayer){
crtComp.layer(i).name = crtComp.layer(i).text.sourceText.value;
}
}
