That’s absolutely fantastic, works perfectly! Thank you so much 😀

Hi, thanks for your help but I’m not sure if I’ve done this correctly.

The initial hex colour in the text layer is “ff0000” (red) but after implementing the code as below, the resultant colour ends up being a hex value of #2C3C7A (a luminous green).

Have I done anything wrong here?

Thanks for the assistance!

hex_edited is the text layer (initally written as ff0000):

"0x" + thisComp.layer("hex_edited").text.sourceText;

Colour Control Expression:

hexColor = thisComp.layer("hex_edited").text.sourceText;
r = (hexColor >> 16)/255;
g = ((hexColor & 0x00ff00) >> 8)/255;
b = (hexColor & 0xff)/255;
hsl = rgbToHsl([r,g,b,1]);

Never mind my last post. I’ve now coded an app that deals with this 🙂

Ah wonderful, so it had to be an absolute path. Many thanks, this aspect works now!

A slightly different question now (sorry)…

Within the same text file I would like to reference sizes of rooms/objects in feet and inches. How could I accommodate both single and double quotations within the file? An example would be :

IMAGE3 = “Living Room”
DESC3 = “5.93m (19’5″) x 3.45m (11’4″)”

I know that it’s possible to include a single quotation if the text file is encapsulated with ” and “, and a double quotation if the text file is encapsulated with ‘ and ‘ – but is there a way for both instances to occur?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

IMAGE3 = "Living Room"
DESC3 = "5.93m (19'5") x 3.45m (11'4")"
