While recording and ADF Application on JMeter, what should the regular expression extractor be when the javax.faces.ViewState recorded value starts with '%' and not with '!'.
I have been following the following link and it talks only about javax.faces.ViewState values that start with '!'
http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.in/2010/04/configuring-apache-jmeter-specifically.html
One possible issue is that the variable you are seeing is not decoded.
If this is the case, then you should see a %21 as a starting sequence that is the '!' encoding sequence.
In any other case, pls post the value found.

want to retrieve nonce and state using the regex extractor.
I have tried with .*state=(.*).* but not working specially with the escape character \u0026, any clue how to retrieve ?
How about state=(.+?)\\u0026 ?
Meta characters need to be escaped with another backslash
Also if you have hard time coming up with a proper regular expression you can always use Boundary Extractor instead, it's much easier to use and it works faster.
this works, but how can I ignore the quotation marks in the form of my token "token"
i don't want him to get the quotation marks
I would use Boundary Extractor
Put Left and Right Boundary as " and you will get the value
Allows the user to extract values from a server response using left and right boundaries. As a post-processor, this element will execute after each Sample request in its scope, testing the boundaries, extracting the requested values, generate the template string, and store the result into the given variable name
You need to provide the Template and specify the capturing group (in your case it will be 1)

working in this way. maybe you will need it!
I have recorded a workflow in Jmeter using Recording controller.
In that workflow, a URL parameter 'member_id' get generated and appear in URL.
This 'member_id' is getting used further in the workflow.
In the recorded script, value of 'member_id' is saved in a variable. Screenshot
Here the problem is; When I execute the scripts, then instead of newly generated 'member_id', the saved value is getting used in the later samples.
I want to fetch the new value and update the saved value, so that it can be used in later samples
I have tried to fix this issue by fetching the 'member_id' from the URL and save it in a variable
I have tried 'Regular Expression Extractor' but I am not able to read the value.
Screenshot
But when I print the response, I am getting only first digit of new 'member_id'.
Screenshot
You're using wrong regular expression, it stops whenever it finds the first match
According to the JMeter documentation on Regular Expressions:
( and ) these enclose the portion of the match string to be returned
. match any character
+ one or more times
? don't be greedy, i.e. stop when first match succeeds
So the solution will be to remove the question mark from your regular expression:
member_id=(.+)
or even better, if you're looking for numbers you should limit your search criteria to digits only like:
member_id=(\d+)

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.
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.
