My suggestions is to create a BeanShell script file that creates an array of strings from the contents of the file (each entry in the array corresponds to 1 line of the file), and then make a function that returns a random entry of the array. It should be pretty easy to do.

Hi Sebb/All

As you can see I am trying to have all my threads assume different values and also have a good distribution across the sample set, for each run, or else initial values tend to get used most.
From your reply, seems there is no straightforward way to achieve this. Is this 
correct?

Why not randomise the file contents?

This is what we do for our testing.
We use StringFromFile, but the principle is the same.

Hi,

I want my threads to read random rows from a cSV file. Any way to do this? If I 
put
a line like the following for a value from the CSV file,
${__CSVRead(${perftest_home}\data\topics.csv,0)} 
${__CSVRead(${perftest_home}\data\topics.csv,next)}

I see that all threads read the next row, for example thread 1 gets row 1 
thread 2 gets row 2 etc. Also I am not sure what the next iteration of each 
thread will get.

What I would like is each iteration in each thread gets a completely random row?

Any thoughts?

Hi

I am a beginner with JMeter.

How do I read random rows from a CSV file for the purpose of random 
parametrization?
