Hi,

My main purpose is to get a random value for variables. For example just
imagine i have a field called "user name" and in the database i have some
different values like "user1","user2","user3"..I just want to assign these
values randomly to the variable "user name" when each time i'm sending a
http reauest. So i just gave up trying to get those values from the db. Now
im trying to add those value to a txt file and use it as csv  data file. It
will be great help if you can give me the steps to  that.Thanks a lot..
