Jmeter - How to read csv in such a fashion that read 5 rows in first iteration and another 5 rows in second iteration?

Question

I need to use data from csv in such a fashion that for first iteration read some of the rows and in other iteration read the remaining rows.

No. of rows per iteration might be fixed or dynamic.

Don't want to read all the rows using loop.

Take a look at the following options:

1. __CSVRead() function which proceeds to the next line when you specify next as the column number

2. __StringFromFile() function which reads the next line from the file each time it's being called

3. __groovy() function which allows executing arbitrary Groovy code so you can read

   • first line of the file as new File('test.csv').readLines().get(0)
   • second line as new File('test.csv').readLines().get(1)
   • etc.
