AeRender does not recognize expressions in .txt files. How to solve this issue?

Hello. We're experiencing some problems with AE render engine. I searched this across the web but found no solution.

 

We're a large video publishing company and we publish same videos with changed texts on each one. To speed up process we created external .txt file so we can change the texts of AE project using expressions/codes in each text layer.

 

We add this expression into each text layer

 

try{

myPath = "text.txt";

$.evalFile(myPath);

eval(thisComp.name)[0];

}catch(err){

"text error";

}

 

and we add this text into the text file, which is located with AE project

 

VAR compname "text",

VAR compname "text".

 

Everything works great when we render our videos with After Effects, but when we try to render using AERENDER (which is much faster and easier for large number of videos), all expressions are getting disabled and we get videos with wrong text.

 

I wonder if there is a solution to render using AErender but make the expressions to work normally? We use After effects CS6 (this expressions does not work with CC at all)

 

Thanks a lot for your help
