searching through layer names for a specific word

I haven't tested this, but it will be something like this:

var myComp = (your comp);

var theName = 'OliveOCC';

var myLayer = null;

for (var i = 1; i <= myComp.numLayers; i++){

  if myComp.layer(i).name.substr(0,theName.length) == theName){

    myLayer = myComp.layer(i);

    break;

  }

}

Hey Sam,

do a search on  regular expressions, particularly how they are used in javascript.  This sort of thing is trivial with a regular expression.
