Re: Using Regular Expression Extractor - UNDERSTOOD

[Bob Jacoby <RJ...@tceq.state.tx.us>]

Not resolved, but I at least understand what's going on.

The page I was trying to get to uses a redirect for the first request. Upon searching the archives I found that this is a known issue for response assertions and post processors ( http://www.mail-archive.com/jmeter-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg02659.html ). As soon as I directly went to the page it worked properly. My red herring was that I was trying to extract "Java" and "Platform". As my luck would have it the redirect response has "Java" in it which made it seem like it was working for a single group, but actually wasn't.

I appreciate everyone's help!

Thanks,
Bob

I don't use the regexp extractor like that, so I can't tell you what's 
up off the top of my head.  Though you can get what you want, in another 
way, pretty easily.

Clone your extractor.  Have a test1, with a $1$ template, and a test2 
with a $2$ template.

You -might- try setting your template in a single one to:  $1$ $2$, and 
see what happens.
