Yes, exactly. I understood what you wanted. But your example lends itself to an
obvious
solution:
"see ${__StringFromFile(names.txt)} run"
right? But, if the "see" and 'run" part also vary, you might have to do something
like:
"${__StringFromFile(begin.txt)} ${__StringFromFile(names.txt)}
${__StringFromFile(end.txt)}"
Which, of course, is ugly, but there you go. If you need something more complex, then
like I
said, JMeter probably can't do it.
