Extracting values From HTTP Requests

["Nayak, Soumya R." <sn...@firstam.com>]

Hi All,

I am submitting HTTP requests and I am getting the request content dynamically from individual files from a local folder using the Jmeter function - "__FileToString".
I have a requirement to extract a value from a variable from the request data, so how can I do that ?

As I have post processors which work only on response data, is there any way to extract from the dynamic request data?

Regards,
Soumya

 In __FileToString you can save value to variable using 3rd parameter.
Then you can extract from the variable using Apply To: JMeter Variable Name
to use  (" assertion is to be applied to the contents of the named
variable")

Hi
I would favor that your test gets the data in the form it needs rather than
the test writes code.
e.g. if you have smething like {"a":"b","c":"d"} and you also need the
value of d for something then for e.g. you could create your test data as
"d", {"a":"b","c":"d"} and use CSV dataset config or something like that to
read it.

If you dont want to touch your test data and still want to do it as part of
your test then
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jmeter/tags/v2_8/docs/usermanual/functions.html#__FileToString
pass variable Name and use any of the JSR-223 / beanshell functions to
parse the variable (vars.get("variableName") will give you the value that
you need to parse

regards
deepak
