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.

I ran into a problem in JMeter.
I have URL and into body there is GET http://test.com/registration?test={value} and I need to extract value of test parameter and put this value to the next url to another parameter.
I used Regular Expression Extractor but all I can do is pull out the whole URL but not specific value from the URL.
By way of example:
http://test.com/browse where we have code 303 and in the body
See Other.
I need to extract value from http://test.com/registration?test={value} and put this value to the another URL
If you have any thoughts on this please help. Thanks in advance!
I used Regular Expression Extractor but all I can do is pull out the whole URL but not specific value from the URL.
Probably there are any other ways to solve it.
Try with this regular expression:
test=(.+?)"
Full configuration just in case:
You will be able to refer extracted value as ${value} where required.
You might find Boundary Extractor easier to use, in this case you just need to provide "left" and "right" boundaries and it will extract everything in-between:
More information: The Boundary Extractor vs. the Regular Expression Extractor in JMeter
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)

Using RegEx (Regular Expression Extractor) with JMeter
working in this way. maybe you will need it!
How to pass jmeter response data (ex: getting response 295 without any lable) to next http request url path/body. This 3 digits/4 digits number is dynamically generated for every run and this value i have to use it for next API calls. Since this value is not having any lable/attribute name not sure how to extract this value. Please suggest.
Regular Expression Configuration:
Reference Name: anything
Regular Expression: (.+)
Template: $1$
Match No.(O for Random): 1
The Reference name should be passed as the variable in the next HTTP request URL path/body.

If you need to extract a single numeric value, the relevant regular expression will be as simple as (\d+). See Perl 5 Regex Cheat sheet for quick reference.
If in future you will need a regular expression which return the whole response (including line breaks, special characters, whatever), as per How to Extract Data From Files With JMeter article it will be something like (?s)(^.*)
Assert given value:
"action":"GET /api/invoice_status","description":"[NO_AUTH] get
invoice statuses"
Assertion failure message:
Test failed: text expected to contain /"action":"GET
/api/invoice_status","description":"[NO_AUTH] get invoice statuses"/
It is adding / slashes just to represent properly but it's not an issue. Cross verify your response after running the script, there might be some difference in the response and the text which you are passing in assertion. Also, there is no need to pass complete response in assertion, just pass some important text like success, passed (if present in response) or any other text available in your response and click on contains radio button inside Response assertion
Got the solution by using the \ forward slash escape character.
As per How to Use JMeter Assertions in Three Easy Steps
The Pattern can be either be:
a “string” for “Equals” or “Substring” clauses
a “Perl5-style” Regular Expression for “Contains” or “Matches” clauses
So if you choose "Contains" mode - JMeter treats pattern as Regular Expression. Either escape meta characters with a backslash - \ or consider switching the Response Assertion into "Substring" mode instear.
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.
