Thanks again
The code I'm using is is at the beginning of the post and here (Film CP w-2 layers 360.js). If I had a preference I suppose I'd want to deal with the period (.) the same way as the (') and the (") by swapping them for the original characters in the 'original' file name. I'd prefer only a single . in the original file identifiying the .ext (less confusion for downstream users/ apps). So in review, I need to create the text layer where in this order:
1. the word in is replaced with "
2. the word ft is replaced with '
3. the character _ is replaced with a period .
4. the original file name is left as-is
"It should not be a problem at all." Awesome! can I buy you a coffee (via PayPal)?
