Agreed. BTW, The reason that SFF starts from line 1 is that each reference to a function in a test plan creates a new instance and each instance of SFF sets up a new file reader. Made it easy to support multiple input files - which we needed for our testing.
It would be possible (*), but probably more complicated, to use StringFromFile here. S. (*) 1 file per XML variable. Or put SFF call in a user variable and hope the Soap sampler resolves references to the variable in a well-defined order... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 June 2003 17:50 To: JMeter Users List Subject: Re: _StringFromFile always reads first line from file I think you'd be better off using the CVSRead function, which is very similar. Your example is analogous to setting multiple parameters in the same HTTP Sampler, for which the CSVRead function is a better choice - it allows you to read from a file that contains multiple values per line, and you can refer to each value in the line with a column number. The only drawback is that you are responsible for making the call to move the next line, but it's not a big deal as that call returns an empty strting, so you can pretty much put it anywhere without a problem. -Mike On 20 Jun 2003 at 10:39, Brian Lundell wrote: > I am trying to send an XML request to a server using the following Soap/XML-RPC Data: > > <envelope><body><requestlist session-id="${FSessionID}"><transaction> > ${_StringFromFile(c:\qa\automatedtests\benchmarks\foldertree\0012- modify-labor-items.xml,)} > ${FTimeClockGroupID} > ${_StringFromFile(c:\qa\automatedtests\benchmarks\foldertree\0012- modify-labor-items.xml,)} > ${FLabTextCustPropID} > ${_StringFromFile(c:\qa\automatedtests\benchmarks\foldertree\0012- modify-labor-items.xml,)} > ... > ... > ... > ${FLabEnumCustPropID} > ${_StringFromFile(c:\qa\automatedtests\benchmarks\foldertree\0012- modify-labor-items.xml,)} > </transaction></requestlist></body></envelope> > > The problem I am having is that each _StringFromFile reads the first line of the file. What I want it to do is read a line from a file, insert a variable string, read the next line from the file...and continue as such.
