this works, but how can I ignore the quotation marks in the form of my token "token"
i don't want him to get the quotation marks
I would use Boundary Extractor
Put Left and Right Boundary as " and you will get the value
Allows the user to extract values from a server response using left and right boundaries. As a post-processor, this element will execute after each Sample request in its scope, testing the boundaries, extracting the requested values, generate the template string, and store the result into the given variable name
You need to provide the Template and specify the capturing group (in your case it will be 1)

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 have issue with debug sampler not showing regular expression extractor in Jmeter. Kindly refer the tree below:
Here is the information in my regular expression extractor:
There's no regular expression variables shown in debug sampler output:
Can help to see what's the real issue here? FYI I'm scripting using webtours demo website & havent parameterize username and password yet coz i want to make sure my correlation works first. Thanks.
Without seeing the response it's hard to say what is wrong, most probably your Regular Expression Extractor fails somewhere somehow, as per documentation:
Template
The template used to create a string from the matches found. This is an arbitrary string with special elements to refer to groups within the regular expression. The syntax to refer to a group is: '$1$' to refer to group 1, '$2$' to refer to group 2, etc. $0$ refers to whatever the entire expression matches.
so for sure you need to change $1 to $1$
Using regular expressions for parsing HTML is not the best idea, I would recommend consider using CSS Selector Extractor instead, the relevant configuration would be something like
I don't think your PostProcessor placement is correct, it's a Post processor so according to the JMeter test elements execution order it is executed after the sampler and you're trying to use the variable in the same request. So my expectation is that you need to move it under the "Homepage" sampler

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
I did read few responses but my regular expression extractor is not working.
Mine is a simple case where this is my response
token.id=AQIC5wM2LY4Sfcz4cOT2RrremxWJmM3llZmPl6k0bP_r5D4.AAJTSQACMDUAAlNLABQtNDI1OTg4NzgxODg5MDM1ODU2NQACUzEAAjI3
I am trying to grab the value using this expression
token.id="(.*?)"
which is not saving the value into the variable i assigned. My next request when trying to use the value fails since its not grabbing it.
Can someone let me know what exactly is missing. thanks.
There are few problems with your regular expression:
You need to escape dot between "token" and "id" with backslash as it is a special character. See Literal Characters article for more information.
You don't need the quotations marks as your response doesn't contain them (does it?)
So your regular expression needs to be amended as token\.id=(.*) (however I would rather go for something like token\.id=(\w.+)
You can use View Results Tree listener in "RegExp Tester" mode to test your regular expressions directly against response without having to re-run the request.
See Regular Expressions JMeter documentation chapter and How to debug your Apache JMeter script guide for extended information on the above approaches.
