Change Position of Text Depending on Value of Slider

Question

I have a text that outputs the value of a slider I have set up. I would like the text to change position when it goes from 1 digit to 2 digits so that it will stay centered.

I was trying to create an If/then statement to do so. Here is how far I've come, I may be way off:

if (thisComp.layer("Control").effect("Slider Control")("Slider")>18) 956, 532;

So If the slider value is greater than 18 then the text position will be 956, 532.

Cheers,

Evan

Something like this should work:pos1 = [946, 532];pos2 = [956, 532];if (thisComp.layer("Control").effect("Slider Control")("Slider") > 18) {finalpos = pos2}else {finalpos = pos1};finalposJust edit the two positions pos1 and pos2.The if else expression works this way: http://www.motionscript.com/mastering-expressions/language-beginning-4.htmlThe Language - Part I
