(duplicate post from general forum)

Hey all,
Is there an easy way to retrieve the upper left coordinate of any selected layer in the timeline? Perhaps by script/expression?
I know that I can get it if I navigate the cursor over the upper-left handle in the comp window, but I was hoping for a faster, and more precise method akin to hitting ctrl "T" (windows) in photoshop, and just looking at the recorded value in the info panel.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to select mutliple layers in a timline and have all of the upper-left ([X,Y]) coordinates spat out to a text file.

for example:

(layer name) 140 308
(layer name) 230 513
(layer name) 420 207

etc...

TIA,
-stev=o
