Thanks Dan,
that works great. I had to subtract some pixels on the (gotit) and else L.transform.position lines to get the cursor to start and end in the right spots, but after that it works like a charm! Thank you, thank you! that will save me a ton of time not having to keyframe the other four words I need. You my friend are awesome.

Sincerely,
Randy D.

L = thisComp.layer("auto repair shop");

if (temp[3] > 0){
gotIt = true;
break;
}
}
if (gotIt)
[i + width/2,L.transform.position[1]]-635;
else
L.transform.position + [width/2,0]-660;
