Replace text from external source expression from AE CS6 not working in AE CC

Question

We have used some expressions in an AE CS6 project to fill text from an external file. Here's an example:
try{
/* "mypath" must be absolute to data file */
myPath = "file:////nynfile1/Production/Egg/Marque/data.txt";
$.evalFile(myPath);
/* Use [0,1,2] for array offset value(Name, Date, Time)*/
eval(thisComp.name)[0];
}catch(err){
/* Display if data error found*/
"text not found";
It works fine in CS6. When we open the file in AE CC, the expressions can't find the data.txt file to pull text from. All we get is the "text not found" error. We stepped through debug and the data.txt file doesn't open/isn't found.
What up with that?

This was just for setting up, but here's the file's contents:
var banner01 = ["Name01", "Date01", "Time01"];
var banner02 = ["Name02", "Date02", "Time02"];
var banner03 = ["Name03", "Date03", "Time03"];
var banner04 = ["Name04", "Date04", "Time04"];
var banner05 = ["Name05", "Date05", "Time05"];
var banner06 = ["Name06", "Date06", "Time06"];
var banner07 = ["Name07", "Date07", "Time07"];
var banner08 = ["Name08", "Date08", "Time08"];
var banner11 = ["Name11", "Date11", "Time11"];
var banner12 = ["Name12", "Date12", "Time12"];
var banner13 = ["Name13", "Date13", "Time13"];
var banner14 = ["Name14", "Date14", "Time14"];
var banner15 = ["Name15", "Date15", "Time15"];
var banner16 = ["Name16", "Date16", "Time16"];
var banner17 = ["Name17", "Date17", "Time17"];
var banner18 = ["Name18", "Date18", "Time18"];
