Extract using regex extractor - Redirect - jmeter

I am using JMeter to extract some strings.
How do I extract using the regex extractor from the intermediate redirect URL. The issue is regex extractor is not able to match if redirect happened.
I unchecked the Redirect automatically checkbox and it was able to capture regex value, however I don't know to redirect using that variable.
Any help is appreciated.

I got this resolved, by using another HTTP request calling the initial url and used regex to parse data and call the redirect url with another HTTP request.

Try adding a PostProcessor=> Regular Expression Extractor, and select 'URL' under the field to check section.
You will have to add a Reference name for the variable also the regular expression which will help extract it. Further reference this variable in other requests.

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

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?

How to use session id from a previous HTTP request?

I record my script from internet explorer using JMeter version 3.3 but when I run it the first HTTP request created a new session but the next request is nothing changed it is because the session id of the second request is indicated to its path unlike the first request.
So this is my question, How to use session id from the previous request and put it to the path in the second request. Please see the image below
Add Regular Expression Extractor as a child of the first request and configure it as follows:
Reference Name: anything meaningful, i.e. SessionId
Regular Expression: SessionId=([+-]?\d+)
Template: $1$
Replace hard-coded recorded value in 2nd request with ${SessionId}

jmeter: extract information from headers and save it to a variable

My task is to make a request and save some data from the headers in a variable and use it later in another requests.
So I've added an http request and added an regular expression extractor. Here is my setup:
And then I've created another request and I'm using the LocationToken variable, but there the variable has the default value (dd). here is the response:
So, as you can see, the pattern patches on the headers. So what have I done wrong?
In Regular Expression Extractor, under Apply to section, you should select Main sampler and sub-samplers option but not JMeter Variable.
Regular Expression Extractor saves the value into the variable which we specified in Reference Name field.
in the question,
Reference Name: LocationToken
in later request, you refer the value as follows:
${LocationToken}

JSON Path Extractor in JMeter

I am new to jmeter. Can anyone help me to use a response object of one request to be passed as a request header of next HTTP request ?
Let me explain.
I am getting an access token along with the response of login in my app:
{: "responseCode":18, : "message":"Successfully logged in.", : "responseObject":"8zWExE4eSdhcJDwnW9MgIw=="}
No I want to use this access token (8zWExE4eSdhcJDwnW9MgIw) as one of the parameter of next request.
I used JSON Path Extractor for this.But its not working.
I am using JSON Path Extractor as well and it works great if it is properly configured.
Just put it into request and fill fields:
Variable Name: access_token (or any other you want to use later in request like this ${access_token})
JSON Path: responseObject should be enough if the JSON you pasted is full response (thjose additional colons are just some mistakes when copy-pasting or the JSON is corrupted?)
Default Value: I always use some value like 'NotUpdated!' here so I can assert in the next step or at least see it easily in request.
Not seeing the full response it is quote hard to come up with a correct JSON Path expression.
Given what you posted it should be something like $.responseObject
See JSON Path Syntax guide for queries syntax examples and Using the XPath Extractor in JMeter (scroll down to "Parsing JSON") for plugin installation instructions and XPath to JSON syntax mapping.
Just in case anybody would face an issue with multiple variable extractions using JSON Extractor (like me), make sure to:
List the names of variables/path expressions/default values using a semicolon as a separator.
Provide default values for every variable.
The second point is apparently required, and I only found out about it from this
Medium post.

How to enter a web page , save the paramter response and use it to enter another page with this pramter

i need your help with a problem i encounter with jmeter
i need to create the following:
Enter a web page
Save from the response of the page a parameter
Use this parameter to enter another page
someone have an answer to my problem
thanks
A bit generic, but here goes:
HTTP sampler to make the request
Regular Expression Extractor (or Xpath) post processor to get the
data you need from the response.
HTTP sampler using variable from step 2

Ophir is correct.
Extract the parameter using regular expression extractor and the parameter value can be put into next request using the reference name specified in regular expression extractor.
eg: https://www.example.com/search?q=${reference},
Hope these links will help you.
