I’m working on a script that adds an expression to the source text which includes several instances of “r”. Unfortunately, this causes a line break in the expression code itself (omitting the actual “r”).

Is there an alternative way to write “r”? (similar to “&” in html)

Any ideas how I could parse a specific line from a multi-line text layer?

This is
some example
text.

line 2 = "some example"

Perfect! This is exactly what I needed.

I’m trying to write an expression that would set the position relative to the angle around the circumference of a circle.

For example (100px circle in middle of comp):

if angle == 0 or 360
[50,0]
if angle == 90
[100,50]
if angle == 180
[50,100]
if angle == 270
[0,50]

This only works for the 90 degree increments, so I’m needing a more elegant/mathematic way…

Is it possible to make an expression that, when triggered, changes the value for a set amount of frames? For example:

if (statement == true) {

// set opacity to 100 for next 4 frames, then 0

} else {

0

}
