Expressions : Text Object Properties ... Word Index?

[VFXbear]

Question : Does the Text Object have a Word Index Property?

What I'm trying to achieve :
You type in a line of text, and via Essential Graphics/Param slider, you select a specific word in that line of text, based on the index, to then be able to give it another color, or to return position/size params to generate a bounding box.

In other words: I type in "This is an example", link an expression to the word index property of the text field, set it to 4 (which would be "example") and then be able to set ONLY the selected word's formatting properties to Bold, #00FF00, etc ... 

Am I asking too much?
I can easily see multiple uses for this, if it hasn't been implemented yet.
Anyone? Anyone? Adobe? Anyone?  😉

Simply set the text animator's mode to word and the textIndex and other such stuiff will respond accordingly.

It needs to be driven by expressions, therefor I need the object property.

You can use RegExp to get the word count:

var count = myString.split(/\b[^\s]+\b/).length
