Aha - Thanks Sebb. I just tried your suggestion and used CSV Dataset within the loop - it works. Previously, I had tried using both __StringFromFile() and CSV Dataset earlier, but at the top of the test plan instead of within the loop as you suggested. That gave me the same code for each loop iteration. > Also, 2.3.1 is really old; there have been lots of bug fixes since then. I also tried the latest 2.3.4 release and the same __XPath() problem exists there too.

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.
