I am a newbie, I have been tasked to test the website. From the page I need the CSV file to add from the list all of the bronze sponsor(s) mask: [name of sponsor] : [link to the sponsor's website] . I used xpathxpath includes a sampler sampler, but my teacher said to use regular expression extractor and you have to work with arrays of data from the response data.
My XPATH is:
.//*[#id="bronze"]/li[14]/a/#hred
How to change XPATH to regular expression?

In Jmeter, run one API and get the below response. I want to extract File_Name & ReqId value from the below response using Regular Expression Extractor using only one "Regular Expression Extractor" . and pass these two values to another API, so how do that?
{"FileCode":["Aadhar"],"File_Name":"271954143_1_1.jpg","Aadhar_Features":[{"Confidence":"79.46","File_Code":"UIA","Count":1},{"Confidence":"87.87","File_Code":"GOI","Count":1},{"Confidence":"88.25","File_Code":"Aadhar_Slogan","Count":1},{"Confidence":"92.36","File_Code":"SatyamevaJayateLogo","Count":1},{"Confidence":"92.99","File_Code":"AadharLogo","Count":1},{"Confidence":"97.01","File_Code":"Aadhar","Count":2}],"ReqId":"REQ_1639032634869","Classes":[{"Confidence":[96.21741771697998,98.64940047264099],"Coordinates":["383,269,110.0,27","375,882,105.33333333333333,28"],"Count":2,"Name":"AadharNo"}]}
Here some wise man suggested using JSON JMESPath Extractor as it's faster, easier and more reliable.
If despite this you prefer using Regular Expression Extractor - here is the regular expression for the File_Name:
"File_Name"\s*:\s*"(.+?)"
and here is the one for the ReqId
Example Regular Expression Extractor configuration:

I have a response which have multiple values which need to pass in the next request. How can I right a single regular expression to capture that values and pass those to next request.
<id>583839</id>
<Clientno>543</Clientno>
If you configure the Regular Expression Extractor as follows:
textual representation of the settings:
Variable: DATA
Regular Expression: (?s)<id>(\d+)</id>.*<Clientno>(\d+)</Clientno>
Template: $1$$2$
You will be able to access the extracted values as:
${DATA_g1} - for 583839
${DATA_g2} - for 543

This is simple. You can use a regular expression extractor for this.
Just add 2 regular expression extractor config elements to the sampler from which you would want to extract data. Specify the below expressions in them and specify a relevant variable name. The template should be $1$ in both elements.
<id>(.+?)</id>
<Clientno>(.+?)</Clientno>
The above will provide you variables with the data you need.
If we are having dynamic left and right boundary in response, then how to correlate them in Jmeter?
I found few useful article to correlate in Loadrunner, by using text flag in web_reg_save_param like "/DIG", "/BIN", "/ALNUM", "/IG". Or we can do that using web_reg_save_param_regexp.
In Jmeter you use the relevant Regular expression in Regular Expression Extractor added as a post processor of the request.
for example for LoadRunner correlation:
Source: “GraphA123567EndGraphA”
Solution:
web_reg_save_param_regexp(“ParamName=CorrValue”,
“RegExp=\“Graph[A-Za-z]\”, \“([0-9]+)\”, \“EndGraph[A-Za-z]\””, LAST);
Result: 123567
You will use Regular Expression:
Graph([A-Za-z]+)(\d+)EndGraph([A-Za-z]+)
with Template: $2$ to get relevant group and in Jmeter ParamName is Reference Name
JMeter doesn't operate "boundaries", the most popular Post Processor is Regular Expression Extractor which can handle both static or dynamic "boundaries" which you can set using Perl5-style regular expressions.
For example if you want to extract numeric value between foo and bar the relevant JMeter regular expression would be foo(\d+)bar
If you are looking for a mix of numbers and letters you can use foo(\w+)bar
The same approach you can follow if your response data is like foo1_A_VERY_INTERESTING_STRING_bar2 where 1 and 2 are dynamic:

I am new to JMeter, I want to fetch the 123 number from the below JSON response and store it in a variable. And user the value for further requests.
{"data":" Abcd efgh 123 successfully created","error":null,"info":null,"warn":null}
Can someone address to achieve it using BeanShell Postprocessor and Regular Expression Extractor or if any there is any other way to achieve the same.
Add Regular Expression Extractor Post-Processor as a child of the request which returns above JSON
Configure it as follows:
Reference Name: anything meaningful, i.e. number
Regular Expression: (\d+) successfully created
Template: $1$
You will be able to refer the extracted value as ${number} or ${__V(number)} later on where required.

Also be aware that JMeter 3.0+ comes with JSON Extractor, it is not applicable for your current enquiry however if later on you will need to get the whole attribute value(s) it will be much easier to use it rather than regular expressions
Regular Expression Extractor with (\d+) is the simpliest.
Reference Name: myNumber
Regular Expression: (\d+)
Template `$1$`
Match No. `1`.
It will be saved in myNumber variable

<span id="nameDomain">gmail.com</span>
How to take the field values in Regular Expression extractor of jmeter
What i have to give
Regular Expression:
Template:
Match No.(0 for Random):
You can check the below example to extract the value.
You need to use ${spanval} in the subsequent requests to access the value you have extracted.
Check this: JMeter - Regular Expression
Extractor
In general using regular expressions to parse HTML isn't a very good idea as regular expressions are very sensitive to markup change and very fragile.
You can use XPath Extractor instead.
Add XPath Extractor as a child of the request which returns that "span" and configure it as follows:
Check Use Tidy box if response is not XHTML-compliant
Reference Name: anything meaningful, i.e. nameDomain
XPath Query: //span[#id='nameDomain']/text()
Refer extracted value as ${nameDomain} where required.
See XPath Tutorial for language reference and Using the XPath Extractor in JMeter for some more details.
If you still want to use Regular Expressions, the relevant Regular Expression will be <span id="nameDomain">(\S+)</span> and Template $1$. Other fields (apart from the "Reference Name" may be left as they are.
