Hey Sebb, Thanks for your comments.
For example, I have a script that performs a quote of a system (e.g. car quote) using a predefined customer reference (person). I need to perform this quote for x number of predefined customer reference numbers, i.e. first quote performed will use ABC/DEF/12345 as the reference number. The second quote does the same thing just needs to use a different customer ref, ABC/DEF/12346. I will need to perform 10,000 quotes, so therefore need to be able to read in from a file all my pre-defined customer reference numbers so I can perform the same quote on each one. I.e. I need a file with : ABC/DEF/12345 ABC/DEF/12346 ABC/DEF/12347 Then in my working jmeter script that currently does 1 quote on a hardcoded reference number as part of the HTTP Request Sampler, I want to loop round the whole quote process and perform it once for each customer reference contained in that file. Thiis will then ideally have the load spread over say 100 jmeter threads so that if I have 10,000 quotes required, that means I give 10,000 customer refs, and say if I use 100 threads then each thread will perform 100 quotes with unique customer refs. Going on from what you have said, I am now starting to look at the CSVRead function because that's what referred me to the CSV Data Set Config, but I'm still lost on how to get jmeter to loop round an array of customer refs obtained from a file.
