Thanks a lot! This isn't a problem with While Controller, of course, but a limitation with this scenario - in the sense that you need to use both Recycle on EOF and the EOF as a condition and since you can't reset the CSV Config on the next thread repetition (i.e. like the Clear cookies each iteration in the Cookie manager) then you have to use this workaround. > > > Thanks. > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > >
