Help Needed For Regular Expression
Hello,
Consider the following Scenario
We are using JMeter 2.2 version, There is one HTTP Client request, at
URL side system is generating DateTime (Runtime) that value we need to
pass it in next HTTP client request.
For this we are using Regular expression to get this value from URL
(HTTP Client request) but in next HTTP request doesn't passes the
correct value, In View result tree, it shown Regular expression name
instead of Value.
Listed Regular expression we have used.
Reference Name: RF_TD
Regular Expression: name="datetime" value="(.+?)"
Template: $1$
Match No: 0
Thanks in advance.

It's not clear to me what you are trying to do.
If you want to use the same datetime value in two different samplers,
then define the variable in a User Parameters test element, and use
the variable where necesssary.
If the datetime is to be extracted from a server response, then most
likely the datetime will be in the response body, not the response
URL.
Indeed the example you gave:
name="datetime" value="(.+?)"
cannot possibly match a URL as it contains a space and "?", neither of
which are allowed in URLs.

RE: Help Needed For Regular Expression
Posted by Rushabh Doshi <rd...@asite.com>.
Kindly accept my apologies for late reply.
Yes I am sure datetime field is in the URL. Actually what we are doing
is in User parameter we have called Java script and defined Variable
named "Time = ${_javascript = datetime()
Same we have put it in the URL like...
https://test.xx.yyyy.com/repo/GenerateReportController?action_id=9999&is
Template=false&datetime=${GenerateDate}
Regular expression defined is a child of the above request,
Here when above request is sent to the server then I can able to see
right value (datetime) in the Request tab page and same value I need to
passes in the next URL using Regex, perfectly the ${RF_TD} is used in
the next http request.
Please note that we need to get the value from request (URL) itself not
Response data.
Sebb,
I have doubt that Regex is not working, if we would like to get the
value from URL itself then.
Thanks & Regards,
Rushabh

I know it sounds a litle bit crazy but are you sure that you did not put any spacebar during typing the Reference Name.
The %24%7BRF_TD%7D will only appeare if he did not get any value. If he gets a value this will not happen.
So this means two things: one the regular expression is wrong and this will not put any value in RF_TD (maybe the expression is not unique).
Two there are some difference in the variable. like an invisible space tab or enter
Otherwise Sorry I cannot help you I just tried it at some of my scripts and what ever I fill in it just works correctly
kind regards
Marcel

be sure that "response field to check" url radio button is select as you

Did you used the ${RF_TD} in the next http request?
you can also try to use (.*?) or match no. = 1
