JMeter is adding additional character to auth token - jmeter

I am using JMeter 3.1.
I am sending the following path
core/DocumentRenderer/api/cmbs/54ad43a8cbda7177fc83b2c5?Authorization=${authentication}
I am receiving back
core/DocumentRenderer/api/cmbs/54ad43a8cbda7177fc83b2c5?Authorization=%20A3BB6A2F90D13D76E99483509DE3F864BB51C8424ACA5792D651F43C2B20A65C42ACEAB0DC03493060EF59E2654C482AC38333AB4BFBAAB2E073809CE8E97E4C7E62B02D766ABF3344818D13A981D40C447AFC3458AAE54E92705D20D0C49D7A8565B72C227A2663C3944931F4B747840E8FE01B599A2A5C205E39973A8A98DDD80BE61E46C8E3222334CF4C1A512FADED5EF5C9A493333058BE70A04DA835FA045AF474BFDFBD84878F53182E3B6726
with %20 as an additional character.
I also tried to add authorization as parameter
Authorization=${authentication}
but then it adds or + if I use Encoded=Yes or space if Encoded unchecked.
Any suggestions?

JMeter doesn't add anything, most probably your Post-Processor which extracts the token value is obtaining an extra space so your ${authentication} variable basically has a space in the beginning, you can double check it using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination. Amend your Post-Processor logic so it won't include the space into the variable.
Another option is using i.e. __javaScript() function to remove spaces from the {authentication} variable itself like:
core/DocumentRenderer/api/cmbs/54ad43a8cbda7177fc83b2c5?Authorization=${__javaScript("${authentication}".replace(/ /g\,''),)}

JMETER __P cannot digest the value

I have a variable that I use in my API's header.
It contains many special characters in that string so JMeter cannot digest the value.
'myCode' variable I plan to use in CLI (NON-GUI) mode so I need to be able to control it.
Sometimes I see also double or single quotes ('"' and "'")in the string so it can be a case that I need to deal with this
Any ideas on how to handle this?
${__P(myCode,0$M#3C3dKLo&1=9gIYP#CvC5.sWNvDD2mTWmn)=uoj}peA6W8?ry]s/Tn}J{C:Z%,J?M0+{&&ywi]3wM"1lG(&!q++88b1B>I2G1=+cso}trWmOSIo]INi^&%&^GYUFFsgdnJ.TsPTM[Jq+g2CWKvRZ495G0DqH>Yj%sUPqhj2aCmbWun)}
JMeter can "digest" the value, if you're trying to override the property via -J command-line argument - refer to your shell documentation as some characters might need escaping.
Another option is defining your property in user.properties file or in a completely separate file and using __FileToString() function to read it

How to throw an Apache JMeter keyless token into a variable?

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)

Using RegEx (Regular Expression Extractor) with JMeter
working in this way. maybe you will need it!

Why "&" is adding while request in Jmeter?

http request default. http request config. csv data config used. csv data file used .I wanted to add data from csv file, but if i pass single parameter also its adding "&" character before parameter.
ex: https://www.linkedin.com/start/join?&name=A0A1A0
Just remove this ? sign from the /api/dealer/searchByPostalCode
JMeter automatically detects query string beginning in the URL path and tries to merge parameters with the ones you specify in the path to avoid syntax errors.
Given you don't provide any parameters in the "Path" section you should remove ? from there.
Another possible reason is that your CSV data contains this & character, double check it using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination.
As per the official documentation:
As a special case, the string "\t" (without quotes) in the delimiter
field is treated as a Tab.
When the end of file (EOF) is reached, and the recycle option is true,
reading starts again with the first line of the file.
Source: http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#CSV_Data_Set_Config
So I'd request you to remove \n in delimiter field from the CSV Data set config and then try.

How to extract jmeter response value

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.

Whitespace replacing plus sign in Jmeter

I have this regular expression:
name=\"javax.faces.FormSignature\" value="(.+?)"
that will extract the value I need to pass to a http request. My problem is, if this value happens to have a + or a = sign on it, Jmeter will replace them with a whitespace. That will fail my request.
Has anyone seen this before? I've tried with xpath extractor and the same thing happens.
If this shappens in next request that uses the RegExp extracted value then uncheck Encode checkbox in Parameters Table.
See Send Parameters With the Request:
