How to use a Variable in Jmeter Regex Extractor - jmeter

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.

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

Regular expression is fetching 9 values how can we add all 9 value to next request in Jmeter

Regular expression is fetching 9 values
Need to add all these ticked values with comma separation in next request.How can we do this in J meter
How can we pass multiple values extracted via regular expression to next request in JMeter
Can you please share some snippet of the HTML response, I'd like to help you with the answer. Also, at times, using an XPath expression in an XPath Extractor can be easier to work with.
If the reference name for is set to VALUE, then you can access each of the 9 matched values as VALUE_1, VALUE_2, ...... VALUE_9
Given you configure your Regular Expression Extractor as follows:
Reference Name: arg_name
Regular Expression: `arg_names" value="(.+?)"
Template: $1$
Match No.: -1
You will get JMeter Variables like:
arg_name_1=foo
arg_name_2=bar
arg_name_3=baz
arg_name_matchNr=3
Now you should be able to concatenate the values using the following __groovy() function:
${__groovy(def builder = new StringBuilder(); 1.upto(Integer.parseInt(vars.get("arg_name_matchNr"))) { builder.append(vars.get("arg_name_" + it)).append("\,") }; builder.toString(),)}

JMeter - Using response data as variable

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.
