Entering a filepath into a table doesn't really make for a readable test, all it says is that you are entering text from some file. To someone reading the gherkin syntax it isn't very meaningful and doesn't describe accurately what the test is. If the exact text isn't important (i.e. it the reader wouldn't have to look in the file) then reconsider the test/steps to read/be more generic.
I may be wrong about this but it's the conclusion I came to recently with this problem. What is the context of this test?
