**ERR** is returned whenever there is an error, but there should be further information in the log file.
JMeter starts in the bin directory - is that where the file data.txt is? S. -----Original Message----- From: Veronica Baiceanu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 October 2003 18:25 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: problem with _StringFromFile Hi, I am trying to use _StringFromFile to read values for parameters of an HTTP Request. For instance, for the request parameter I can have: Name: parameterName Value: ${_StringFromFile(data.txt,)} where "data.txt" resides in the JMeter bin folder. "data.txt" contains values for parameterName, one value on each line. In the "View Results Tree" listener I notice that the function returned an **ERR**. In the simplest case, I am having just one parameter value in the "data.txt" file. I am running the test with just one thread, looping just once. The test runs fine when I specify the actual parameter value in the HTTP Request panel. I tried to specify an absolute path for the data file as well, e.g. "C:\data.txt", and I got the same problem. I also tried to achieve the desired result using the __CSVRead function, and apparently in this case the file was opened, but no value was retrieved. I am using JMeter 1.9.1. Thanks a lot for any help, Veronica --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
