No, I'm not. The loop would not work in Java either - once you have reached url=<EOF>, it stays there. What is different about JMeter is that it is difficult/impossible to reset the file reader. > I'm doing a regression test on a suite of urls with different > user-agents.

Yes, see my earlier posting as to how you can get round the JMeter file reset limitation. > Thanks, > > Simon > > -----Original Message----- > From: sebb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 26 September 2007 15:50 > To: JMeter Users List > Subject: Re: iterating through 2 data sets > > Still does not work, because the url will remain set to <EOF> once > reached as there is nothing to change it. > > As I said, JMeter cannot reset the file back to the beginning, so you > need to work round this - see my suggestions. > > It might help to know what you are trying to test - perhaps there is a > better way of coding it. > > On 26/09/2007, Simon Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Sebb, > > > > Many thanks for your response.
