JMeter 101: Writing a value from Screen to a CSV File.
Hopefully a simple question that you will be able to help me with.
I have a script that is generating a series of New Orders against a web-based ordering system. On completion of process, the web page returns an Order number. I want to capture that Order number into a CSV file so that I can feed it into another script later that will simulate re-ordering.
The screen returns the text "Order Reference: XXXX" where XXXX is the number I want to store away.
so, I am looking for advice on:
(a) Reading the screen to put XXXX into a CSV File
and/or
(b) Reading the screen to put XXXX into a variable so I can extend the existing script to do both Order Creation and Re-Ordering.
I think something around REGEX should get me the value in it's self, but I cant work out the syntax of that or the next steps to output to a file.
Am using JMeter2.3.2 (latest version 2.3.4 has been giving compatibility problems with the application service I am using, so upgrading is not an option at this time)
Cheers,
David

And if you add the regex extractor and a Simple Data Writer Listener
as a child of the sampler that retrieves the value, you can ensure
that you have one entry per sample. You can even use the config button
to remove most of the sample result columns from the output.
See http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/listeners.html#sample_variables
for how to use sample variables

Thanks all for the pointers - I knew there had to be at least one answer, and you guys have given me a few to ponder (and shown me just how much more I have to learn about JMeter!!)

Hi,
I'm writing a Flexible File Writer listener for next version of
JMeterPLugins@GoogleCode. It cat write csv, too.
Here's snapshot: http://code.google.com/p/jmeter-
plugins/downloads/detail?name=JMeterPlugins-0.4.1-
snapshot2.zip&can=1&q=#makechanges
I think this is the answer...
Bye,
Andrey

>(a) Reading the screen to put XXXX
Any Post processor (usually a regex post processor) can extract values from
the response into a variable , that is available for the rest of the test
>into a CSV File
For this you'd have to write java code(Do you want a sample?). Since you are
going to do this in amulti threaded environment , you need to synchronize
access. there are alternative available , for e.g. you can configure jmeter
to write its variables into its result file(which can be CSV as well). you
can then parse this file easily to extract what you want - this is the
simplest if you arent a developer.
>(b) Reading the screen to put XXXX into a variable so I can extend the
existing script to do both Order Creation and Re-Ordering.
The post processor do allow this (provided the re-ordering is done in the
same thread) . Are you facing issues here? If so what ?
