Controlling loop

[Massas <mu...@hotmail.com>]

Hello again all.

I seem to have more problems..

I'm having problems with variables in an embedded loop. 

>From an regexp i get a variable which controls how many times a loop should
run. In this loop, i want to use another variable which starts at 1 (lets
give it the origninal name of ${counter}) and increments for each embedded
loop. However, if looping the entire test case i always want to enter this
embedded loop with the ${counter} value of 1.

Here i have my problem. When running once, it works like a charm. But if i
run the whole test case more than one loop the ${counter} keeps incrementing
(not restarting at 1)

Tring to put it in a more visual way:

Thread group
+ Regexp out a variable (ex 3)
+ loop regexp variable times with ${counter}=1
++ do stuff in loop
++ ${counter}++
+ End of test

On the next loop of the whole testcase the ${counter} will enter with the
value of 4, but i need it to restart at 1. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance, and have a good weekend all.

I had the exact same problem and found to only solution was to create my own 
counter element, with a corresponding reset element:



Counter (Beanshell Pre-precessor):

c = Integer.parseInt(vars.get("count"));
c++;
vars.put("count", ""+c);



Reset/Initializer (Beanshell Pre-precessor):

vars.put("count", "0");
