Thanks again for the reply. That's the section I'm referencing. Right after I posted, I tried the /RootContents/ChildFolder[n]/@assetID syntax n my Xpath Extractor with no luck, surprisingly.
I tried using a specific index value [10], just to see if I could reference one particular line, and still get "NONE", which is the default value if I have no valid assetID. This seems pretty odd. The Loop Controller iterates the correct number of times, but I don't think it allows any way to pass in the line index to the XPath Extractor. Is there an automatic variable I can use as an index in the Loop Controller, or is the For Each Controller the only one that will allow me to reference a specific iteration index? The For Each controller seems like you have to specify a set of variables to traverse rather then the simple for (idx = 0; idx < totalResult; idx++) syntax I expected. The number of iterations is unknown up front, so I'm not sure how I'd handle that one. I'm not sure I'm using the the Debug Sampler quite right. I put it in the loop and it shows the assetID=098ew for each loop iteration which probably means it's not being initialized in that scope. If I put it out side the loop it shows one instance of assetID=098ew. Strange.
