[Solved] Issue withvalue in Expression from promise

	Exps.prototype.getText = function (ret, stuff_)
	{
		var varself = this;
		function.get(stuff_)
		.then(function(content) {
			// .replace to remove control characters from the string
			varself.msgContent = ((content).toString()).replace(/[\x00-\x09\x0B-\x1F\x7F-\x9F]/g, "");
			console.log("Retrieved: " + varself.msgContent);
			return varself.msgContent
		})
		.then(function(text) {
			console.log("Returned: " + text);
			ret.set_string(text);
		})
		.catch(function(err) {
			if(err){
			varself.dataError = (err).toString();
			console.log(varself.dataError);
			}
			varself.msgContent = ("error " + varself.dataError).toString();

Theoretically it should return with the same thing the console.log functions produce but I can't seem to get it working. I'm assuming it's something to do with it being a promise rather than a linear function.

My goal is to have the plugin.getText() expression be able to immediately get the text, as currently I have it 'working' with an action/triggered condition combo but that's not ideal for directly applying the text it to object instances on demand. If someone could help me
