As far as I can make out from a recent look at the code, CSVRead only supports a single file. Each thread can maintain its own position in the file, but they all access the same file.
By contrast, StringFromFile supports as many files as needed, but each reference in a test plan opens the file anew. If you can combine the data into a single CSV file, you could use CSVRead. Or if you can split it into individual files, you could use StringFromFile. Otherwise, you might be able to use a parameter element to populate a variable using _StringFromFile, and then use the regex function to split it into other variables for use in the XML sampler, but I've not tried that. Hope this helps a bit. If not, it could be time to update one or both of the functions... -- The opinions expressed herein are my own, and are not necessarily endorsed by my employer ... -----Original Message----- From: Brian Lundell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 June 2003 18:31 To: JMeter Users List Subject: __CSVRead always reads the same file. Hi, I'm having a problem with using __CSVRead in a loop. Here is the construct I am using: |--- Loop Controller (set to run twice) |--- XMLSampler |--- RegExExtractor to get ParameterThatWorks |--- Interleave Controller |--- Request1 (Accesses File1.xml) |--- Request2 (Accesses File2.xml) Request1 is as follows: ${__CSVRead(File1.xml,next())} <some><xml><elements> ${__CSVRead(File1.xml,0)}${ParameterThatWorks}${__CSVRead(File1.xml,1)} </elements></xml></some> Request2 is identical, but contains File2.xml for File1.xml The problem I am having is that both times through the loop, the values from File1.xml are being sent, not File1.xml and then File2.xml (which is what I want). I have tried a few different constructs to accomplish, but with the same results every time. I'd gladly appreciate any suggestions on how to do this. Thank you!
