CS4 Source text load from external .txt file

I have been using the following source text expression in my CS3 projects to load text dynamically for lower thirds and titles:

#include'/media/text.txt'

try{
eval(thisComp.name)
}
catch(err){"not found"}

The external .txt file is formatted as follows:

L3_01 = "FirstName LastName"

L3_02 = "FirstName LastName"
;

And the comps in the AE file match those in the text file accordingly.

I just recently upgraded to CS4 and the expression no longer works. Any help on loading text dynamically in After Effects CS4 would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
