JMeter has no Screen scrape built in functionality but I suppose u could use JMeter Proxy recording as a type of screen scraping since it records all of the input invoked by the user using the browser as a proxy. As far as file input I have not done so myself but I have seen plenty of folks on this ML that have used all types of file input including CSV. JMeter is open source so if it does not have the functionality you want then navigate to the JMeter bugzilla and put in a feature request. Otherwise if all you need is a screen scrape see: http://noodle.tigris.org/. HTH
