Maybe this can help you:

 Background: Given Login with email [e-mail] and pass myPass Scenario Outline:Scenario 1 Examples: | thing1| thing2 | thing3 | | fdlsk | fadsff | faskld | 

And in your report use this:

 @Then("^Login Login with email ([^\"]*) and pass ([^\"]*)$") public void login_general(String email, String pass) { login.fillEmail(email); login.fillPass(pass); login.clickLogin(); }
