This is how my HTML value looks like. Please note, there is a carriage return and space after q1. I only want to extract the number next to q as here it is 1.
<span id="sqa">q1
?</span>
I am using Xpath extractor, and it gives me complete value as can be seen via debug sample. The name of my variable is answer_value. I only wanted 1 which is a dynamic number here, not q. As only this number is used in the subsequent request.
Xpath query I am using is //span[#id="sqa"] and it gives me below value. I am not sure how I can split this value in Xpath or need to use a split function of JMeter to do that?
answer_value=q1 ?
Just add a Regular Expression Extractor and configure it to extract a number from the answer_value JMeter Variable.
Place it below the XPath Extractor and configure like this:
You might also want to apply XPath normalize-space() function to remove eventual line breaks:
normalize-space(//span[#id="sqa"]/text())

I ran into a problem in JMeter.
I have URL and into body there is GET http://test.com/registration?test={value} and I need to extract value of test parameter and put this value to the next url to another parameter.
I used Regular Expression Extractor but all I can do is pull out the whole URL but not specific value from the URL.
By way of example:
http://test.com/browse where we have code 303 and in the body
See Other.
I need to extract value from http://test.com/registration?test={value} and put this value to the another URL
If you have any thoughts on this please help. Thanks in advance!
I used Regular Expression Extractor but all I can do is pull out the whole URL but not specific value from the URL.
Probably there are any other ways to solve it.
Try with this regular expression:
test=(.+?)"
Full configuration just in case:
You will be able to refer extracted value as ${value} where required.
You might find Boundary Extractor easier to use, in this case you just need to provide "left" and "right" boundaries and it will extract everything in-between:

Using Jmeter n my Json response couldn't extract the below "_MESSAGE_" response value as well need to capture first five value in our variable like (10000) alone
"{\"_STATUS_\":\"SUCCESS\",\"_MESSAGE_\":\"10000,1111111111\"}"
Note : This is invalid json and dev team not supporting to build the right json.
it's high priority task - anyone have a solution for this issue. please share your input.
I am looking for the solution to extract the "_MESSAGE_" and need to capture first five value in our variable like (10000) alone
You can use Boundary Extractor and use "MESSAGE":" as left boundary
and , as right boundary
Given response is not a valid JSON you have 2 options:
Regular Expression Extractor, the relevant regular expression would be something like:
"MESSAGE":"(\d{5})
See Regular Expressions chapter of JMeter user manual for explanation of what do these (), \ d and {5} mean
Boundary Extractor where you can just provide "left" and "right" boundaries and JMeter will extract everything in-between

I need to extract value from the response body text and need to add that value for another request. I need to write a regular expression to capture the below-mentioned value.
<id>45893943</id>
If you're looking for a regular expression - it would be something like <id>(\d+)</id> where:
d - matches any number
+ - repetition
It might be easier for you to consider Boundary Extractor as it's configuration is more simple and it acts much faster, just provide <id> as the left boundary and </id> as the right boundary and JMeter will extract everything between the boundaries:
And last but not the least, using regular expressions for parsing HTML or XML is not the best idea, you might want to use CSS Selector Extractor or XPath Extractor instead, however we need to see the full response in order to be able to come up with the best solution
I have the following which is the second span in html with the class of 'ProductListOurRef':
<span class="ProductListOurRef">Product Code: 60076</span>
Ive tried the following Xpath:
(//span[#class="ProductListOurRef"])[2]
But that returns 'Product Code: 60076'. But I need to use Xpath to strip the 'Product Code: ' to just give me the result of '60076'.
I believe 'substring-after' should do it but i dont know how to write it
If you are using XPath 1.0, then the result of an XPath expression must be either a node-set, a single string, a single number, or a single boolean.
As shown in comments on the question, you can write a query using substring-after(), whose result is a string.
However, some applications expect the result of an XPath expression always to be a node-set, and it looks as if you are stuck with such an application. Because you can't construct new nodes in XPath (you can only select nodes that are already present in the input), there is no way around this.
How can I extract the response using a regular expression for Jmeter.
Jmeter is not extracting the response item that I want to extract. I've tried several times, but I failed. How can I extract the response item?
Response data is as shown in the screenshot:
The value which I need to extract has been highlighted.
I tried extracting using the following expression, but it failed:
<h2>.+?<a hfref="http://(.+?)">.+?</a>.</h2>
Please follow the below steps to extract the Id value.
In your Regular Expression Extractor, configure below details. Use the regular expression as Public/FormsPreview.aspx\?Id\=(.+?)& to retrieve the Id.
You can use other unique left/right boundaries as well, as your regular expression.
How to validate your regular expression extractor?
To validate your regular expression extractor, add a Debug Sampler (Right Click on your thread group > Add > Sampler > Debug Sampler)
Execute the test plan
In View Results Tree you can see the c_ID value as shown below.
Depending on how vary can result be (I mean, how the form is changing? is that only querystring Id parameter that is different? could there be another response (than Object Moved) with Id that you don't want to parse? etc.), the regular expression in the Regular Expession Extractor Post-Processor (which fits best here) would be different.
From simplest context-agnostic, Id=(\d+) (that is considering you have numeric Id), to making it case-insensitive (?i)Id=(\d+) and/or alphanumeric Id=([0-9a-zA-Z]+), or even whatever symbols are in (but you'd be forced to start to include context in this case ) Id=(.+?)& - and up to one that uses broader context evaluating the whole multiline stuff, like (?im)<title>Object\smoved</title>.+<a\shref=.+Id=(\d+)
And don't forget to use $1$ as your Template and take the Match 1.
I suggest you to stick to the most narrow and most context-agnostic one you can afford (the very first example here).
Add some assertions to make sure you're on the right page - despite the fact they executed after post-processors, you'd see something is wrong, at least.
You can add regular expression extractor like following
