how do YOU take text from a jmeter "data writer", when its set to
"forever"
Hi all,
I'd like to take out a "sample" from the middle of a huge 10M csv file
created by the simple data writer, when the loop is set to "forever"?
I've stopped the test, and now I want to grab the middle section of the
test....
thanks!

yea.. thanks Felix for confirming what my suspisions are.. and I read all up
on the excel/jmeter timestamp issue....
I did decide to do a sort before I do any graphs...
sooo thanks!

William,
in a multi threading environment, where threads compete for a logging
resource, you cannot expect order to be preserved (I think).
As you're grepping already, why not throw in a sort? Of course, sorting
by a date string can be tricky, you might want to insert some preprocessing.
If there are timestamps (and there should be), sorting becomes trivial,
though you might need to change a ; or two into spaces.
HTH

Hey Felix,
yea thought of doing that too.
I just did a simple grep "10:47" name.csv > name.10.47.csv
and then basically put all of the minute of a test into an excel tab.
BUT, one thing does worry me, and i'm hoping you might know that answer.
I would think, that when the tests are being done, and returning the code,
that once the entry is writen into the local .csv file, that it would be in
chronilogical order..l right?
I find when I bring in the .csv file into excel, I have to do a 'sort" based
on time field.
because some of the lines are out of order... does anyone know why this is
the case?
maybe i'm missing something...

The Unix awk and sed come to mind. If you're in Windows, get them with a
cygwin bundle.
This is not a Jmeter issue.
