Hi Sebb,
Thank you very much for your reply. I got my script work. But I still have
two questions for you as follows:
1. I check manual for function, and I did not find that I need two
underscores" __" before function name in text, although I can notice that
there are two underscore bfore function in manual. But I did have one
underscore before StringFromFile (_StringFromFile()) function work
successfully. So which function needs two underscore and which one need one
underscroe ore all of them need two underscores?
2. You mentioned that "As I wrote before, you cannot select random entries
from the CSV file". but why did I get random numbers displayed in "View
Result Tree"? Would you please explain more about __Random function and
provide some example?
Thanks a lot in advance.
