I got an error when using split all. Seems there was a small issue with line 165 and 172. I fixed it by changing
myTextFrames.duplicate(); > myTextFrames[i].duplicate();
and further
myTextFrames.remove(); > myTextFrames[i].remove();
Here's the adjusted code
/*

Fixed #165 > changed myTextFrames.duplicate(); to myTextFrames[i].duplicate(); as well as on #172
