JUnit - Regular Expressions and all that Jazz

Question

I can't help you with the JMeter-specific stuff, but your regex has a couple of regex metacharacters that need to be escaped. Also, the template should refer to group #1, becuase that's where the actual id number is matched.Reg Exp: <a href="appointmentDetailsPDA\.jsp\?id=(\d+)&
Template: $1$[/pre                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Answer 1

Hello, FD-san
I�ve tried using a Regular Expression Extractor in
JMeter, with the following parameters, but this does
not seem to work:
Ref Name: ${appointment_id}
Reg Exp: <a
href="appointmentDetailsPDA.jsp?id=([\d]*)\&
Template: $0$
Match No: -1
Default: Specify the variable "appointment_id" without "$" and "{|}"
Just
Ref Name: appointment_id
Reg Exp: <a href="appointmentDetailsPDA.jsp?id=([\d]*)\&
Template: $1$ //$0$ refers to whatever the entire expression matches.
Match No: 0 // stores rendom of matches
Default:
in this case you can refer to:
appointment_id_gn - as to the n-th group of matches (n=0,1,2, ...)
appointment_id_g - as to the last number of group (number of groups - 1)
appointment_id - as to the group #1
Good luck
