JMeter - Using response data as variable - jmeter

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 extract value from serialized json response in 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

Jmeter - Regular Expression With variable contents

One of my HTTP response header has the following content (as an example) -->
Set-Cookie: __RequestVerificationToken_L0N5YXJhV2ViUG9ydGFs0=-8In3dBVumict4lbSFy8aIkNfMQf1L75qDPmZgb1Gt7CnA8ZDrQ_zeNRB4Hjg0nZrKF8LgHzysJu2Wi8bXIO-s7fAEucytZJ_Q4__Y33_To1; path=/;
I would like to retrieve only whatever is after the = (note between __RequestVerificationToken_ and = sign is variable)
I have added a regular expression Extractor with following information:
Field To Check --> Response Header
Regular Expression: Set-Cookie:__RequestVerificationToken_.*=(.+?);
Template: $1$
but it doesn't work
can you please help?
thank you
It seems that you want to get the string after = and before ; which will return -8....To1 so change your regular expression to make sure you hit the first = using regex to get all characters without equal sign [^=]+, full regex:
RequestVerificationToken_([^=]+)=(.+?);
and then in Template get group 2 without variable using $2$

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

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.

JMeter: Parse JSON and count

I am using JMeter to test a web application. The application returns JSON that looks like the following:
{"type":"8","id":"2093638401"}
{"type":"9","id":"20843301"}
{"type":"14","id":"20564501"}
I need to get a count based on type.
I have tried adding foreach controller with a regular expression extractor, but Im not sure I have done it correctly:
Apply to: Main sample only
Response field to check: Body
Reference name: match_type
Regular Expression: "type":"(\d)"
Template: $1$
Match no.: -1
Im new to JMeter so Im not sure if Im doing any of this correctly.
Thanks
If you want to operate on both type and id in single sampler, I think simple regex and ForEach controller won't be sufficient. You will have to write two regex extractor followed by while controller with BSF processor (javascript or beanshell) to extract both the values and export them to jmeter variable. Something of following type
- First Request
- Regex extractor for type
- Regex extractor for id
- BSF processor (to initialize the loopcount=0 and the total_matches of matches that you found)
- while controller (loopcount < total_matches)
- BSF processor
- export/set current_type = type_$loopcount
- export/set current_id = id_$loopcount
- increment loopcount
- USE current_type and current_id in whatever sampler you like
