Copy the output text/result from an expression

I have a simple expression that counts the layers below the layer. A text box shows the result. I would like to copy this result. I can only select the original text.

 

Thanks

How about Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Convert Expression to Keyframes. Then copy the text and Undo (if necessary)?

Hi Dan,

 

That's a clever trick! Gonna remember that one.

 

In the meantime, I managed to write a simple script that placed my generated text in a textfield. Easy to copy!

 

Thanks

Matthias

That's just how it works. No way around it. If you need to have persistent data, you need to write a script.
