How to extract value from serialized json response in Jmeter - jmeter

I am getting a response in form of serialized json format for an api request as below
{"Data":"{\"orderId\":null,\"Tokens\":{\"Key\":\"abcdefgh123456\",\"Txnid\":\"test_5950\"}","success":true,"Test":"success"}
I want to extract Key value in Jmeter and I have to use into next request. Can someone help me on extracting the value?

Your JSON seems incorrect. The valid JSON should be like:
{
"Data":{
"orderId":null,
"Tokens":{
"Key":"abcdefgh123456",
"Txnid":"test_5950"
},
"success":true,
"Test":"success"
}
}
Add a JSON Extractor to the request from where you want to extract the Key value.
assign a variable name, i.e key
JSON Path Expression will be : .Data.Tokens.Key
use the extracted value as ${key} into the next request.

If your JSON really looks exactly like you posted the most suitable Post-Processor would be Regular Expression Extractor
The relevant regular expression would be something like:
"Key"?\s*:?\s*"(\w+)"
where:
``?\s*` - arbitrary number of whitespaces (just in case)
\w - matches "word" character (alphanumeric plus underscores)
+ - repetition
() - grouping

How to extract value from the JSON if the body is string type in Jmeter

I am getting response as
{
"statusCode": 219,
"body": "{"message": "otp sent to user", "session": "f603ee03-4906-4451-b4e5-b19f0ccf84d0", "otp": "123456"}"
}
I want to get the Session number from this response. Do we have any suggestions
I tried post processors however couldn't as the response is in string
This is really strange response. It looks like valid json but isnt really. You can try with regular expression extractor with this expression to match the UUID:
[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}
If the response really looks exactly how you're posting it - you won't be able to use JSON Extractor because it's not a valid JSON
You can use either Regular Expression Extractor and the regex like:
session"\s?:\s?"(.+?)"
If you want explanation:
\s? - optional whitespace character
() - grouping
. - any character
+ - repetition
? - don't be greedy, stop at first match
Or Boundary Extractor configured like:

How to extract variables by using JMeter Extractor

i'am using jmeter "Regular Expression Extractor",my response looks as below
[{"#class":"com.test.dto.BoardDTO",
"ReadOnly":false,
"author":"John",
"id":"89BC331D723F",
"isPublic":false
},
{"#class":"com.test.dto.BoardDTO",
"ReadOnly":false,
"author":"Alex",
"id":"FTH7JBDRF567",
"Public":false
}]
I need to extract all IDs of class:"com.test.dto.BoardDTO" in this case "89BC331D723F" and "FTH7JBDRF567"
Any proposition please !
You should use JSON Extractor instead of regular expression extractor
Add a JSON Extractor and fill in the fields as below
JSON path expression: $.[*][?(#.#class == "com.test.dto.BoardDTO")].id
Match Numbers: -1
This will return all IDs where #class value was com.test.dto.BoardDTO. You can validate it using View Results Tree & Debug Sampler combination.

How to extract value without any condition in Regular Expression Jmeter?

Using Bean Shell Sampler, I am getting response data as
"tjH9/c05vDE3/Bg2R/fqyR5W7MR31GUmqLb/it36smrsPq4xvM6MhfqP5haE9nzSnzm7+vUXdeKiXzygKtAW4CgEk29c/m8hSvl5isHeFca+V35/AMMKAvjvXq6gbSL5k0ujIymbmnJ2rUgIOHEm6K5YgvJ0ZWAoHcW+Tsk7HqgSYQGz5EBVGsoYVbbd0l/TZEVlbMPYSuKKcEV6ykja8lgmt8Llww9qbgTKwVU6eNVqW7PSjkllJvJtj+j5swbMSZ7/Huisg/deGMo/NlSKnFK1Ym8QTv5agxgKlxWTNboccNoqvgzCOEfn/wG84moKpZiAH4cLagt3kyWVJaix4A=="
Note: The above response data is not in Json. I need to extract the same data as is ( above mentioned) using Regular expression / any other expression to pass the same to the subsequent request.
Is it Possible?
If you want to extract everything from the parent sampler response you can use the following Regular Expression:
(?s)(^.*)
Explanation:
() = grouping
(?s) = single line modifier
^ = line start
. = wild-card character
* = repetition

JMeter - Using response data as variable

The response I get back from a post is just a plain text guid seen here I'd like to pull this guid and use it in a variable for my following Get statement:
post response data
And I've tried a bunch of configurations in my regular expression extractor.
But it just ends up pulling Null when what I want is that guid.
Null
I'm new to jmeter - so thank you in advance for the help.
If you need the whole response use the following Regular Expression Extractor configuration:
Reference Name: response
Regular Expression: (?s)(^.*)
Template: $1$
As per How to Extract Data From Files With JMeter guide:
() = grouping
(?s) = single line modifier
^ = line start
. = wild-card character
* = repetition
So it will return the whole response.

How to use a Variable in Jmeter Regex Extractor

I am new to jMeter. I am recording a script for creating a shift. For every transaction New shift ID is generated. I have tried to extract it by using regx Exp extractor but not getting anything. Pls see below information.
*Reference Name: strgenShiftId
Regular Expression: end="${strWeekEndDate}" gs="(.+?)"
Template: $1$
Match No.
Default Value:
Where ${strWeekEndDate} is a variable which extracts the date from some other previous response.
My Response code is as following-
week start="07/27/2015" end="08/02/2015" gs="61530" unitSkey="811" fy="2015" fw="30" ac="Y">
I want to extract the gs="61531".
The full response is:
<data>
<weeks selWkIndex="5">
<week start="06/29/2015" end="07/05/2015" gs="71526" unitSkey="811" fy="2015" fw="26" ac="N">
</week>
<week start="07/06/2015" end="07/12/2015" gs="71527" unitSkey="811" fy="2015" fw="27" ac="N">
</week>
<week start="07/13/2015" end="07/19/2015" gs="71528" unitSkey="811" fy="2015" fw="28" ac="N">
</weeks>
</data>
You can extract gs value using following regular expression: gs=\"([^"]+)\". Always remember to escape " with \ in regular epressions, unless you want " to be evaluated as part of regular expression.
