The For Each Controller automatically loops the correct number of times: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#ForEach_Controller Just make sure you use the same variable as the XPath Extractor. > I'm not sure I'm using the the Debug Sampler quite right.

If it matches 2 entries, you might see something like: assetID=0cc80001 assetID_1=0cc80001 assetID_2=0cc80002 assetID_matchNr=2 which can be used by the For Each controller with input assetID Try it and see. BTW, the Java Request is quite useful for generating test data - just paste it into the ResultData field - or you can load a file using the HTTP sampler, just set the protocol to "file". > Thanks, > > Ed > > > > On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 3:12 PM, sebb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On 08/10/2008, Ed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I'm trying to iterate over the elements of an xml file and get the > > assetID > > > of each element.
