I apologize, looks like it wasn't a JMeter problem. I was confused by my
newly installed Windows XP folder settings... I had file extensions set not
to be displayed, but set to be appended automatically for known types of
files. So when I thought I created data.txt, I had actually created the
file data.txt.txt. And I was only seeing data.txt.
Since I wasn't seeing file extensions, I hadn't seen that JMeter had a .log
file. Your advice helped -- I looked for the log, where I saw that
data.txt was not found, and this made me see the source of the problem.
Thank you,
Veronica

Sorry, just noticed you had tried:
C:\data.txt
That might have to be C:\\data.txt or C:/data.txt

**ERR** is returned whenever there is an error, but there should be
further
information in the log file.
JMeter starts in the bin directory - is that where the file data.txt is?

Subject: problem with _StringFromFile
Hi,
I am trying to use _StringFromFile to read values for parameters of an
HTTP
Request. For instance, for the request parameter I can have:
Name: parameterName
Value: ${_StringFromFile(data.txt,)}
where data.txt resides in the JMeter bin folder. data.txt contains
values for parameterName, one value on each line. In the View Results
Tree
listener I notice that the function returned an **ERR**. In the simplest
case, I am having just one parameter value in the data.txt file. I am
running the test with just one thread, looping just once. The test runs
fine
when I specify the actual parameter value in the HTTP Request panel. I
tried
to specify an absolute path for the data file as well, e.g. C:\data.txt,
and I got the same problem.
I also tried to achieve the desired result using the __CSVRead function,
and
apparently in this case the file was opened, but no value was retrieved.
I am using JMeter 1.9.1.
Thanks a lot for any help,
Veronica
