While loop and Regular Expression Extractor Jmeter issue - jmeter

I need to run a loop until text in response data is Completed for a HTTP request.
My while loop is going in infinite loop. I am not sure how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Use debug sampler and ensure the value is correctly captured as ' completed '. Your regular expression seems to be wrong. It should besomething like:
Status:"(.*?)"
You can use regular expression tester in response data to validate the regular expression.

How do I use multiple values of all matches returned by regular expression in jmeter in a single HTTP request

I'm capturing multiple values with a regular expression, and that expression returns 20 matches as shown in image RegExMatches,
My regular expression is something like this RegEx.
How do I use multiple values in post data of my HTTP request which is something like PostData
I tried with MatchNR and -1 and call with ${candidateGUID_gN} N being the match number but this didn't workout.
How do I use the Extracted values in Post data ? or will I have to make different Regular Expressions for each value ?
I think the only way of achieving this is building your request using JSR223 PreProcessor and Groovy language, take a look at the following JMeter API shorthands:
Arguments
vars aka JMeterVariables
sampler aka HTTPSamplerBase

Debug Sampler not showing Regular Expression Extractor Variables

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

Jmeter - Regular Expression Extractor

I'm new to jmeter and I'm facing an issue with Regular Expression Extractor.
Details:
Http request: /apps/Account/LogOn/TestFirm
This is the response I've received (I've edited for security purpose).
The response from the result tree appears to be from redirected message, probably its hidden response.
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to here.</h2>
</body></html>
!DOCTYPE html>
Now I need to capture SAMLRequest and I've used Regular Expression Extractor with the below information:
Reference Name: SAMLRequest
Regular Expression: SAMLRequest=(.+?)">here
Template: $1$
Match no (0 for random): 1
Default value:
And in the following HTTP Request I've used ${SAMLRequest} and in the request message it goes as ${SAMLRequest} instead of the value. I think nothing is being captured.
Can anyone please help me on how to capture the hidden response as shown above?
Also, what is RelayState? Is it applicable here?
Edit:
191 - is where the SAMLRequest is received from the response.
I have added Regular Expression Extractor, I guess here the value is hidden or something?
193 - I'm using ${SAMLRequest} and in the request body I can see
&SAMLRequest=${SAMLRequest}
instead of the actual value.
You may want to check the "Apply to" checkbox in the Regular expression extractor. This parameter defines which regular expression will be applied to either only main sample results or to the embedded resources too.
The Reg Ex which you have written is correct, Check where exactly this SAMLRequest is generating and use the Reg Ex there.
Try to use the match no as 0 and also make sure that the filed to check is Response Headers(since i could see that the value is generating in the header tag) and the regular expression
You may want to consider doing this with a BSF preprocessor, This will give you the full range of java string parsing operations.
Of course, there will be a way to make this work with a regular expression extractor, but BSF preprocessor, should work equally well, and may allow you to get around a roadblock by using a syntax you are more used to (if you are more used to java)

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.
