Defining a path

I wrote a script in photoshop that loads points from a file and tells photoshop to stroke the path.
Is there a way to do this in After Effects? I don't really need to stroke the path. I just need to define it, so I can make a camera follow the path.

Sure, you just need the points in some sort of format (.csv works for me), then read the file (easy), parse the file contents to an array (easy), then set the camera's position on each frame (easy).

I assume that that your path is just points, rather than in / out vectors as well?
