Using variables in Regular Expression Extractor

[Paul Kronquist <pk...@uscentral.org>]

Is it possible to use a variable as part of a regular expression
extractor query?

This is my scenario:

 

A regular expression extractor extracts a value from the response of
an HTTP Request and assigns it to a variable.

Later, that variable is plugged in to another regular expression
extractor attached to the response of another HTTP request.

 

So, the second regular expression extractor looks something like this:

 

Reference name: test

Regular expression: <!-- ${oid}, (.+?), (.+?) -->

Template: $1$

Match no.: 0

Default: 999999

 

Thanks for your help!

AFAIK, this should work OK, so long as the variable has been defined
before it is needed.

[Multiple Regexes acting on the same sampler may not be processed in
the order you expect, but this should not affect you as you are using
two different samplers]

You can always try it out using a JavaTest sampler - this allows you
to put whatever you like in the response body.
