Extracting a value from jmeter response and exporting it to a csv file - jmeter

Question

I need to know how can I extract a value from response in jmeter and export it to a csv file.
Suppose my response is like this:
<ns3:UpdateConsumerResponse
xmlns:ns3="http://Pandora.NextGenCRM.Integrations.UpdateConsumerResponse"
xmlns:ns0="http://tempuri.org/"
xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Pandora.Xrm.DataModel.Request"
xmlns:ns2="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Pandora.Xrm.DataModel.Response">
<MasterConsumerID>
CRM-CONID-000000519344
</MasterConsumerID>
</ns3:UpdateConsumerResponse>
I need to extract the master consumer value and export it to an csv file.

Answer 1

First of all you have to add an regular expression extractor as a child of this request
and then mention below inputs
1.Reference Name: MasterConsumer (or any variable)
2.Regular expression: abc(.*?)d (suppose your value is like abcCRM-CONID-000000519344d
then provided reg ex will work, now replace abc with your left
boundary and d with right boundary which you can get from your response. if still you need more help then
please provide this value along with more text from both side )
3.Template: $1$
4.Match No:1
5.Default Value: null
now you have your value stored in MasterConsumer variable (apply debug sampler to verify). Just you need to write into csv file, so add beanshell post processor as a child of same request and write below code for printing data into csv file
MasterConsumer =vars.get("MasterConsumer");
f = new FileOutputStream("Path"-Output.csv",true);
p=new PrintStream(f);
this.interpreter.setOut(p);
p.println(MasterConsumer);
f.close();

Answer 2

Add XPath Extractor as a child of the request, which returns above value
Configure it as follows:
Check Use Namespaces box
Reference Name: anything meaningful, i.e. ID
XPath query: /ns3:UpdateConsumerResponse/MasterConsumerID/text()
Add Beanshell PostProcessor after the XPath Extractor
Add the following code into the PostProcessor's "Script" area:
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
String file = "path_to_your_file.csv";
String ID = vars.get("ID");
String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");
FileUtils.writeStringToFile(new File(file),ID + newline, true);
