Re: Searching for a string in an external file
Try setting the encoding of the file before reading through it to see if that helps: var readOK = QT.open("r"); QT.encoding = "UTF-8"; Otherwise you can try duplicating the file then using applescript open and save the file with TextEdit or TextWrangler to see if it converts it t...

Re: Reset value and remove keyframes - possible?
You will need to setup for loops to remove the keyames one by one on each property that has them. When you remove keyframes you probably want to do it in reverse because the numKeyframes value will change when you remove a keyframe and will affect your loop. The CS3 guide is still relevant, very lit...

Re: Searching for a string in an external file
Like I mentioned before, not sure you can read in a binary file with extendscript so this is most likely what is stopping you. What are you trying to find out from the reference movie? Is there any other way to get this info?

Re: Searching for a string in an external file
If it's binary data then I am not sure you'll be able to do it with extendscript but I would try the line by line trick. To read a line at a time use readln() instead of read().

Re: Searching for a string in an external file
Is it hex or binary data? One thing you can try is reading one line at a time and trying the match and see if that works better. If it is hanging maybe it is too much text to load at once.

Re: doing a wiggle on a loopout range
Not sure I am completely clear on what you are asking but if you want to vary the number of keyframes used for the loop then simply assign that value to a slider and keyframe that slider: //this ranged wiggle is form the examples. timeToStart = 3.2; timeToStop = 3.76; if ((time > timeToStart) &&...

Re: Duplicate a layer and a camera and do stuff individually
btw, to figure out what the object name to test against is, just do an alert on the layer and it will tell you what it is within brackets like this: [AVLayer]
Keep in mind that these are case-sensitive.

Re: Duplicate a layer and a camera and do stuff individually
Hi Simma, Layers are objects so you can test to see if they are instanceof's known objects like this: var selLayers=app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers; for (var i=0; i<selLayers.length;i++){ if(selLayers[i] instanceof CameraLayer) alert("Layer: \""+selLayers[i].name+"\" i...

Re: Searching for a string in an external file
Hey Phil, If you post the code up to where it is working and then it will be easier to help you. You will need to use Regular Expressions to find the string and everything after it until the $. The regular expression for that would be this: var a = "czxdfsdjStringaskdjkjneni$asdijoaua"; al...

Re: Possible to slect project setup (incl folders) on startu
Lloyd, you're a star. Absolutely brilliant. Just what I needed :). One suggestion to improve even more would be to add a "save as" dialog when the project is loaded, as you could accidentely save your project and thereby overwrite your template at the moment. Or load the template as a &qu...

Script installed and launched this way have to be run as panels hence the if else statement in the code that is working for you. However you should still get a window that launche...

Re: return array of folders only?
Hello coders! I'm trying to use the getFiles method to make a list of folders and choose the last one modified. I understand that fileorfolderObject.modified() churns out a Date object which I can use, but I can't figure out how to make the getFile method to choose folders only.. Can't test this ri...

Re: Ignore Expression Errors
You could disable the expressions, update the layer names, update the expressions with the new layer names and reenable the expressions.
