How to use multiple variables from regular expression extractor in HTTP sampler - jmeter

I have the following json response from HTTP sampler
{
url: "https://example.com/ir/rest/wsVerRest/getFile?filePath=/data/IR/data/IR_Org/user.mail#abc.com/testSample1_testSample2/testSample1_20151201214307897/outputs/CnvActor-00/testCoverage1.seg",
},
{
url: "https://example.com/ir/rest/wsVerRest/getFile?filePath=/data/IR/data/IR_Org/user.mail#abc.com/testSample1_testSample2/testSample1_20151201214307897/outputs/CnvActor-00/testCoverage2.seg",}...{testCoverageN.seg}
From these I have to construct another htto sampler by using the server(ie xyz.itw),url(/ir/rest/wsVerRest/getFile),keyparam(filePath),value(/data/IR/data/IR_Org/user.mail#abc.com/testSample1_testSample2/testSample1_20151201214307897/outputs/CnvActor-00/testCoverage2.seg)
How to get these values using regular expression extractor and use in another sampler.
At present I can use regex to get those values.but don't know how to use in another http sampler.Please help.Thanks

If you are able to get these values via Reg Expression extractor then it will not be a problem for you. When you use Regular expression extractor then the value are stored in "Reference Name" that you mentioned in your Extractor.
Lets say, your reference names were like below:
ServerValue
UrlValue
KeyParamValue
and so on..
you can simply use them like this in your intended HTTP sampler..
${ServerValue}${UrlValue}${KeyParamValue}

How to retrieve variable from a request body

In my JMeter script I have a request which uses a token as part of the request body:
I've got a regex extractor to retrieve this value but I can't seem to get it back. I've tested using all the "Field to check" values e.g. Request Header etc. The regext I'm using is "token=(.*?)"
This token is needed as other calls explicitly reference it and I need to pass them this variable
Switch "Field to check" to URL as in your case the token is not in the request body, it's in URL's Query String
Amend your regular expression to look like: token=(.*)
This way you will get the token value into the ${TOKEN} JMeter Variable.
More information:
JMeter: Regular Expressions
Using RegEx (Regular Expression Extractor) with JMeter
Perl 5 Regex Cheat sheet
Query parameters are part of the url, so choose URL as Field to check
Also you are building the URL, so can't you use save the token value before?

Is there anyway to pass response of a HTTP sampler to request as another sampler in JMETER

I am testing rest API using Jmeter. In one scenario need to pass complete response of a http sampler to, another http sampler as a request dynamically. Any suggestions how to achieve this in Jmeter.
Add Regular Expression Extractor as a child of the request which response data you want to capture
Configure it as follows:
Name of created variable: anything meaningful, i.e. response
Regular Expression: (?s)(^.*)
Template: $1$
That's it, you should be able to refer the extracted value as ${response} where required.
Explanation of the regular expression:
() - grouping
(?s) - single line modifier
^ - line start
. - wild card character
* - repetition

In next JMeter 5.2 version you will able to do it using Boundary Extractor by keeping Left and Right Boundary empty

Getting oauth token using Jmeter xpath extractor and using it in path of other Http Request

What should be the Regular expression if I want to extract the value for access token, So that i can use it in Path of other Http request ie like access_token=93ee29b4-74dc-4uu7-8e10-6eac6845511b from below http response.
{
"access_token":"93ee2tum-1234-56789-8e10-6eac684551tum",
"token_type":"Bearer",
"expires_in":3600,
"scope":"test"
}
I have given regular expression as
"access_token":"([^"]+)"
And also where can i check the value of regular expression I am getting
You can test your Regular Expressions using View Results Tree listener in RegExp Tester mode like:
Also you can use Debug Sampler to see the associated JMeter Variables. See How to Debug your Apache JMeter Script article for details.
Starting from JMeter 3.0 it's more handy to use JSON Path PostProcessor, in that case the relevant JSON Path Expression would be as simple as:
$.access_token
You can add following regex. It will get the token and depending on the name variable you set, you can add one BeanShell Post-processor to print the token in console for you to verify. Just add the following to it:
log.info(vars.get("token"));
// token is the variable name which you specify in Regular Expression Extractor.

How to Re-use data generated by one Response to other request?

In my application while executing the first request one unique key is generated which key is required for Next all the request. let me how to automate such scenario in Jmeter.
The process should look as follows:
Add Post Processor to the first request
Configure it to extract the required value and store it into a JMeter Variable
Use JMeter Variable from step 2 in your next request.
Depending on response data type you have the following choices:
Regular Expression Extractor - for text
CSS/JQuery Extractor - for HTML
XPath Extractor - for XML and XHTML
JSON Path Extractor - for JSON
It is also possible to extract data from files i.e. if response is in PDF format, but it's a little bit tricky
Example configuration to store the whole response:
Reference Name: any suitable variable name, i.e. response
Regular Expression: (?s)(^.*)
Template: $1$
You can refer the extracted value as ${response} where required. You can also amend the regular expression to extract response part instead of the whole response. JMeter uses Perl5-compatible regular expressions, see Regular Expressions User Manual Chapter for details
You can use regular expression extractor to extract the key from the response of your first request and use the extracted key for subsequent requests. To achieve this:
Right click on the first request and add post processor: Regular Expression Extractor.
Create your regular expression and provide values in other required fields. Please refer to JMeter component reference http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Regular_Expression_Extractor
Extracted value will be saved in the variable given as reference name
Use this variable in subsequent requests
Here is an example test plan with results.

Regular expression in Jmeter for a json reponse

How do i write the regular expression for the json response.
My json response is "publisher":"/api/web/publishers/194".
From this response i want to get only the numeric value i.e 194. Some one pls help in getting it?
If "194" is the only integer in your response than your regex can be limited to just '(\d+)`
If you response contains more digits, you'll need to be more specific, like
"publisher":"/api/web/publishers/(\d+)"
So something like:
Reference Name: publisher
Regular Expression: "publisher":"/api/web/publishers/(\d+)"
Template: $1$
Will extract "194" and store it in "publisher" JMeter Variable. You'll be able to refer to it as ${publisher} later in Thread Group.
Going forward if you'll need to extract something from more complex JSON structures I'd recommend consider using JSON Path Extractor available via JMeter Plugins - the extractor lives in "Extras with Libs Set" package.
See Using the XPath Extractor in JMeter guide (scroll down to "Parsing JSON") for more information and XPath to JSON mapping.
