What are you trying to accomplish with the expression?

[Dan Ebberts]

How about this:

txt=text.sourceText.value;
valAry = txt.replace(/\s+$/g,"").split(" ");
valAry.length

The 5th line should be:

a.push(fromComp(L.toComp(L.anchorPoint)));

[Dan Ebberts]

I haven’t had a chance to test this, so there may be typos, but something like this I think:

a = [];
for ( i = 1; i <= thisComp.numLayers; i++){
  L = thisComp.layer(i);
  if (L.name.substr(0,4) == "smet"){
    a.push(fromComp(L.toComp(L.anchorPoint)));
  }
}
createPath(a,[],[],false)

Not if you use the “Pseudo/” prefix in your matchname.

There’s always Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Convert Expression to Keyframes (after selecting the property with the expression).

Do your markers have comments? It won’t generate a key for a marker without a comment. Also, you’re using layer markers, not comp markers, correct?

[Dan Ebberts]

Something like this, probably:

function markersToKeyframes(){
	var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
	if (myComp == null || ! (myComp instanceof CompItem)){
		alert ("No comp active.");
		return;
	}
	if (myComp.selectedLayers.length == 0){
		alert ("No layer selected.");
		return;
	}
	var myLayer = myComp.selectedLayers[0];
	if ( ! (myLayer instanceof TextLayer)){
		alert ("Selected layer is not a text layer.");
		return;
	}
	var mySourceText = myLayer.property("ADBE Text Properties").property("ADBE Text Document");
	var myTextDoc = mySourceText.value;
	var myMarker = myLayer.property("Marker");
	var myMarkerVal = new MarkerValue("");
	var myMarkerTime;
	for (var i = 1; i <= myMarker.numKeys; i ++){
		myMarkerVal = myMarker.keyValue(i);
		myMarkerTime = myMarker.keyTime(i);
		myTextDoc.text = myMarkerVal.comment;
		if (myTextDoc.text == "") continue;
		mySourceText.setValueAtTime(myMarkerTime,myTextDoc)
	}
}
markersToKeyframes();

I haven’t figured out exactly what it’s doing, but it seems that you would want to replace this:

if (valueAtTime(time)!=clickBase) {

with this:

if (time < clickPoint) {
