Showing variable text source in different comps

[Scott Mcgee]

Just pickwhip the sourceText to the one you will change…once they are all linked when you change it in that one…It will change it for all.

Thanks for the reply, Scott. I know about the pickwhip, but in most places that I have the currency I also have more text around it, and I just want to change the currency, without having to add different text layers.

I’m happy to work with an expression, but I just don’t know enough to do it.

Apologies…

This is what you want

Curr = *Pick whipped Currency Layer that you can change*;
text.sourceText.replace(“Curr”,Curr);

Put that in source text

This then allows you to put the Currency where you want it to go in the sentence.

Hope that’s better.
