_StringFromFile each time it's called it reads next line from the file,
So have a file with firstName,lastName in one line with some separator
then use the __split function to get firstName and lastName
e.g if the content of user.dat are
lName1|fName1
lName2|fName2
lName3|fName3
then you can have
name=${_StringFromFile(user.dat,name)}
VAR=${__split($name,VAR,|)}
${VAR_1} will give you lastName
And ${VAR_2} will give firatName
OR
Use CSV Data set Config
Thanks

Subject: Problem reading value of a test parameter from a data file.
Hi,
I am trying to create a data driven test in JMETER using the
instructions on
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-jmeter/JMeterFAQ#head-87f846dad28fd6b2ad5
eb0d
44d527d572f810653 under the question "How do I use external data files
to in
my Test scripts?".
1- I am not clear with the format for specifying value of the
parameter when using the "User Parameters" preprocessor. I have given
value
the parameter "fName" as "${_StringFromFile(user.dat)}". Is the format
for
specifying value of the parameter correct? However, JMETER doesn't
attempt
to read from the data file user.dat. As a result, data posted for my
subsequent request is evaluated as firstName=${fName}. The ${fName} is
not
getting substituted by the value in the data file. Is _StringFromFile a
JMETER function that is invoked to read the data from the mentioned
file?
2- I have specified the data in "user.dat" with the first line
reading
as FNAME & subsequent lines have values in it. Is the data file format
correct?
What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Rajendra
