I should have said that the CSV Data Set Config element is outside the If controller (but inside the While controller.)

Thanks for this. Moving the CSV Data Set config element outside the loop did not work. The test continued indefinitely, using only the first row from the file. I'm afraid I don't understand your comment about "could be done via a property...." Anyhow, I've worked around the problem by adding another column to the data sheet, and inserting an "X" into that column for the rows I want to be executed (ie all except first and last.) I've modified CSV Data Set to read in this column also (variable name "Run") and I've inserted an If controller between the While controller and the rest of the test, with condition "${Run}" == "X". It seems to work. Thanks, Bryn. -----Original Message----- From: sebb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 November 2005 17:54 To: JMeter Users List Subject: Re: Problems getting loop to end using CSV Data Set Config and while controller.

Might be worth trying with the CSV Data set outside the while loop (not sure it will help, but easy to try). > Also, is there a sensible way of getting the test plan to skip over the first > line of the file (since it contains headings rather than data) ? Not that I know of. You could just remove the headings ;-) Might be a suitable enhancement to allow comments in CSV Data Set files. To avoid possible problems with existing data files, perhaps this could be done via a property, for example: csvdataset.comment_marker=!
