Dan, I ge the "not found" when using your method. I changed the path to the location of my file.
myPath = "~/Desktop/names.txt";
try{
$.evalFile (myPath);
}catch (err){
"not found"
}
David, I was looking at you examples earlier and they are looking to modify the layer based on the comp name found in the text doc.
I really just want to dump the contents into my text layer.

I did a video tutorial on this awhile back as well.
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.
