__StringFromFile enhanced to parse delimited text

           Summary: __StringFromFile enhanced to parse delimited text
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 1.5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Main
        AssignedTo: jmeter-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bakerd@soj.sega.co.jp


I would like to request that the __StringFromFile function be enhanced to
support parsing delimited text from files into multiple variables. Something
like  'somevariable' for the whole line read in from the file with
'somevariable_1', somevarible_2'... for all the delimited text is what I am
hoping for.

I am trying to test a site that uses a lot of email addresses, each with a
unique password (produced from the site itself and returned in an email
message). Currently I have a script to pull email addresses and passwords out of
the email that the site sends out and collect the information into a csv file
(one comma delimited line per email address/password pair) but the only way I
have figured out how to continue to the next phase of the test is to use two
seperate files to feed jmeter (one for email address and one for password). If
the alignment between the two files slips the site will only respond with an
error (which in itself is also an appropriate test but not the one I am trying
to perform at this point).

Allowing for all related information to be collected on one line of a text file
and delimited to allow parsing would ensure no alignment misses.

I would sincerely like to request that the jmeter development community consider
this ehancement request for inclusion in a near future release of jmeter.

Thank you

Don Baker
