problem when using RECORDS_FROM_FILE

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello,

I am encountering a parse error when reading username/password data from
a file.   

The following is my .conf file:

I get the following error when running "curl-loader -f poll.conf":

Please, use:

- to generate unique users with unique passwords two "%s%d" , something
like "user=%s%d&password=%s%d"

- to generate unique users with the same passwords one "%s%d"

for users and one "%s" for the password,something like
"user=%s%d&password=%s"

- for a single configurable user with a password two "%s" , something
like "user=%s&password=%s"

I have tried the %%s usage, as suggested in the error message above but
got the same result.  Any ideas?  Is there any additional documentation
about how to use this templating feature?
