Thanks a lot Philip, both expressions work great! I am grateful for your help and Dan’s help!

Dan, can this expression be modified to make a text row calculation?

Thanks Dan, it works!

I have a task to count the number of words in a text. Here is an expression that works for this:

txt=text.sourceText;

varvalAry = txt.value.split(” “);

var curLine = “”;

for (var i=0;i<valAry.length;i++){

curLine = i + ” ” +” “;}

But if I add a space at the end of the text, then the expression considers the last space as a word.

Please help me how to…

Perfect!

Thank you Filip!

I tried to solve it in a different way and confused myself.

Hello everyone,

is it possible to make a cycle through the length of the composition from this expression?

Thank you!

S = effect(“Speed”)(“Slider”);

A = effect(“Amp”)(“Slider”);

F = effect(“Frequency”)(“Slider”);

R = effect(“Resolution”)(“Slider”);

W = effect(“Width”)(“Slider”);

P = [];

for (i=0; i<R; i++) {

P.push([W/R*i, Math.cos(time*S+i /…

Hi Cameron,
Could you kindly re-upload the file? The link above has expired.

Many thanks!

Bonus??? It is fantastic!!! Part of this expression also calculated the path length in my expression for animation, but I used this parameter for animation only. You have made a very elegant expression without extra controllers. I am grateful to you Filip!

Thank you Filip! It even works without a dot “. ” !

The number of repeats will change depending on the length of the text with the slider. The shorter the text, the more repeats. But with these changes, the gap between repetitions changes. The space is always different in this case, since Force Alignment is enabled.

Hi Filip,

Of course, I did this, added a “symbol” and made it transparent in the animator. But in any case, these are crutches for expression. Distance between words will constantly change due to repeaters, and the width of the “symbol” will not. During the cyclic animation along path (I have previously indicated to calculate the length of the…

Hi guys, I’m trying to repeat the text along path, but the end of the text and the beginning are connected without a space ” “. If I put “. “, then the break (space) after dot works. Is there a way to make a break without a dot, just a space.

txt = thisComp.layer(“source”).text.sourceText+” “;

num= 10 ;

xRepeater = num;

horzRepeat = “…

Hi Andrei, this works great! Thank you very much!

Hi guys, the scale expression shows an error if no text is entered or there are only spaces instead of characters.
How to catch errors so that in these cases the values are equal [0,0]?

R = sourceRectAtTime(sourceTime(time), true);

w = thisComp.width / R.width * 95;

h = thisComp.height / R.height * 60;

s = Math.min(w, h);

[s, s]

Thanks in advance!
