Here's some notes on how to use __CSVRead(). The intention was to provide
LoadRunner-like parameterisation, so it should do the Job.
Hope it make's sense!! If not I'll post an example
Cheers

The CSVRead function returns data from a CSV formatted file. This is used
where parameter data must be varied for each iteration of the test plan.
A value is read by specifying the filename and position of the field within
a row as parameters to the function, eg:
${__CSVRead(c:/scripts/user.dat, 0) } (for a
Windows filename)
Note that variable positions in a row start at zero, and the value may be
read many times.
The next row in the file is accessed by issuing next() as the second
parameter:
${__CSVRead(c:/scripts/user.dat, next()) }
You need to create a dummy parameter in a sampler request in order to
execute next(), but this shouldn't be a problem for most applications - it
will just be ignored. It is also necessary to execute next() before reading
the first values from file. This means putting next() in a step that is
before the step where the first value is used.
Reading past the end of the file returns to the first record.

Then you can use the User Parameters element to set up values for each
thread, or, if you have a large list, you can use the StringFromFile
function or
the CSV function. Both the functions are new and pretty much
undocumented currently in JMeter 1.9RC1. In 1.8.1 there is also the HTTP
User Parameter Modifier, which is documented.
