I'm sure I have done this in the past and I know I can do it w= ith 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 popul= ating 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 r= ead the file and put it into that layer.

Any ideas?=

Thanks.
