No idea what the problem is, sorry. However you could just use __StringFromFile() instead. Or CSV Dataset - just ensure it is in the loop. BTW, it's easy to test functions etc using Java Request - just put the function call in the "Label" field and it will show up in the Listeners. Also, 2.3.1 is really old; there have been lots of bug fixes since then. > Regards, > Sonam Chauhan > > PS: I use __XPath() because the HTTP sampler runs within a loop and it needs > to use a new product code in every iteration of the loop.
