Connecting to a remote script
I tried this pretty cool tutorial and was able to get it to work locally but couldn’t get it to work from a shared location on our network.
https://www.graymachine.com/2009/03/expressions-and-external-documents/
It’s a pretty cool tip that could really help me out, but it’s having file path issues.
I’m trying to get the path to a network location on a mapped drive (N:) located on one of our servers. I’ve tried with the exact server location and the drive location separately and used many iterations of forward (/) and backward (\) slashes…
PS
I’m using CS3 on a PC (unfortunately) and thanks for your help Cow-People!NOTE: for some reason this forward keeps removing my \\(backslashes) but they’re there… sorry!
(actual doc location C:Expressions – doc.txt)
(desired doc location N:Common Share – folder – doc.txt)
#include "Expressionsdoc.txt"try {
eval(thisComp.name)[0];
}
catch(err){"name not found"}; -
