You can parameterize file path using CSV data set config and use the parameter in your beanshell..

Create a CSV file containing all paths. Add a CSV Data Set Config to your test plan and configure your CSV ,give variable name as shown below

In your pre-processor you can use vars.get("Variablename") to get file path as shown below

however its recommended to use JSR223 sampler with groovy as the performance is much better compared to beanshell.. Please let me know if it helps
