Regular expression help

[timothy ma]

Hi

I tried to capture the parameter:

"Name=ICSID", "Value=3VHRtC3ACS5oSLnLd/GWR+261ZflrsnF8LgVXuM+Afo=", ENDITEM,

I create a regular expression like

web_reg_save_param("ICSID", "LB=Name=ICSID", "Value=", "RB=",
  LAST );

But it is not working.

Appreciate if someone can give me advice.

Also, how can I test if the expression has worked before I replay the script in VUGEN?

I can only find my expression not working when replay the script.

In JMETER, I remember we can test REGEX first.

Great thank.

You have to provide escape character / before = & ". It will work then

Please review http://motevich.blogspot.com/2007/11/loadrunner-webregsaveparam-boundaries.html

You do understand you need to escape quotes in your LB/RB blocks?

something like: web_reg_save_param("ICSID", "LB=ICSID\", \"Value=", "RB=\"",   LAST );

Why did you not include an LR_output_message after the capture to see what you got in the param?

Hi Timothy,

Change the web_reg_save... function as below

web_reg_save_param("ICSID", "LB=Name=ICSID\", \"Value=", "RB=\"",
  LAST );

[pramod rath]

Correct format/syntax is like

web_reg_save_param("ICSID", "LB=Name=ICSID\", \"Value=", "RB=\"", 
  LAST );

You need to use escape sequence where   (") appears in boundaries.

Try now

U forgot the escape character

Am I correct that the listed "parameter" is in fact a snippet of the generated code in Vugen?

That would explain why your web_reg_save_param does not work -- even if the double quotes (") are properly escaped.

In that case look for the data that was actually returned by the webserver instead (i.e. the "code generation" log).

For regex use the function web_reg_save_param_regexp (web_reg_save_param does not use regex).

There are several sites allowing you to test a regex, like https://regex101.com/ .

You need training.  You are attempting to correlate where a value is being sent back by LoadRunner, not where the value is being generated and sent by the server.   This architectural misperception needs to be addressed through training on the tool and mentoring, with an HP certified instructor.  Anything other than an HP Certified instructor and is of dubious value - 99% of the time they will take your money and leave you with no usable skills.  If your management is unwilling to provide you both training and a mentor then you should assume that they have set you up for failure.

This is not your fault.  It is the fault your management that you are in this predicament
