Keep in mind the restrictions of this config element when run in distributed mode. Each client needs its own file.

Hi,
the easiest approach might be to convert your data to CSV, then use the
appropriate Config Element in your Test Plan.
Cheers,
Felix

Garvita,
You can use CSV file, retrieve the values in your JMeter test plan and
pass the file name on the command line. Use the steps given below to
achieve this:
1. Add CSV Data Set Config to your test plan or thread group.
2. In the file name field introduce a variable like this
${__P(your-variable-name)}
Make sure it's in the above format.
3. Enter just one variable name in Variable Names field. You can refer
to this variable in the rest of your test case.
4. In the delimiter field enter '='
5. While running the test from command line, pass the following
additional parameter to specify the path of the file:
-Dyour-variable-name=<path_to_the_data_file>
The following plug-in might be of help to you if you are looking for
parameterizing subroutines.

You will probably need to define a static mapping of
var-name => CSV-field-index
If not all variables are set in each block of data, some or many of your
CSV lines will contain empty columns.
