How to read values from a text file and saving as the custom property[SOAP UI]

I have two values in the text file as follows:

12345
67895

I want to save these two values as two custom properties so I can use it in my soap request.

This is what I have so far but no luck:

def myTestCase = context.testCase

// configure the path to your textfile here
File tempFile = new File("C:\Users\cverma\Desktop\SOAPProject\testdata.txt")
List lines = tempFile.readLines()

I am getting this error:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: Script22.groovy: 4: unexpected char: '\' @ line 4, column 29. File tempFile = new File("C:\Users\cverma\Desktop\SOAPProject\testdata.txt") ^ org.codehaus.groovy.syntax.SyntaxException: unexpected char: '\' @ line 4, column 29. at

A better approach would be to write this in a platform independent way, with the additional advantage that you don't have to remember the platforms file conventions, if you are going to use the project directory in the path you can use this:

def testdata = context.expand('${projectDir}') + File.separator + "testdata.txt"
def tempFile = new File(testdata)
...

You have trivial error.

Please use forward slash / instead of \ for the file path.

def tempFile = new File("C:/Users/cverma/Desktop/SOAPProject/testdata.txt")
tempFile.eachLine {
   log.info "Current data : ${it}"
}
