Hi you could do this with BSH, You'd have to write some java code that can get 6 strings from 250 randomly from a file and set those as variables that can be iterated over(using forEach , your variables would have the names like url_1 , url_2 and the foreach would iterate over url , you'd just need one sampler). You can tweak the BSH to do whatever you want (i.e. vary the total number or read a single value randomly) regards deepak
