G'day, Dave's answer is nice and simple.
Another, more complex alternative, is to write a sampler that counts the rows in the file and returns the answer as the sampler result. Then turn the result into a JMeter variable with a regular expression parser or similar. Then use the value of the variable to control the number of loops. The appeal of this approach is that once you have taken the effort to create your own sampler you can use the same basic approach to bring all sorts of outside influences (such as the number of rows in a file) to bear on your JMeter testing.

Problem is that the number of values in the inout files may vary based upon the requirement and I don't want ot go and change the thred/loop count each time by hand.
