If all you have in the file is the text for the one text layer, I would
think this would work:
myPath = "/C/temp/text_test.txt";
try{
$.evalFile (myPath);
}catch (err){
"not found"
}
In the file you would have something like this:
"This is my text."
(the straight quotes are necessary)

Subject: [AE] Source Text from external file I'm
sure I have done this in the past and I know I can do it with a script no
problem but i would rather it be an expression.
There are plenty of examples on the web but they all seem to be populating
comps using an eval(comp.name) piece of code.
I just want to have an expression on the source text of a layer that will
read the file and put it into that layer.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Phil
