Set anchor point grouping on text layer?

Hi all,

I'm not able to change the anchor point grouping in extendscript.  This doesn't seem to work:

textAnchorPointGrouping = curLayers.property("text").property("More Options").property("Anchor Point Grouping");
textAnchorPointGrouping.setValue("Character");

Any thoughts on what I'm missing?  Can't seem to find how to do it in the scripting guide

Wow, ha, just figured it out after playing with it for a long time. 

character = 1

word = 2

line = 3, so the syntax is:

  1. textAnchorPointGrouping = curLayers.property("text").property("More Options").property("Anchor Point Grouping"); 
  2. textAnchorPointGrouping.setValue(1);

Hi everyone,
Could someone tell me if it is possible to get the positions of these anchor points ?
For example, if my sourceText is "Hello World", is it possible to get the center anchor points of these two words with expressions ?
