How to extract data from HREF attribute in jmeter - regex

I recorded steps in jmeter and it requires 3 parameters to be passed to a url in GET method. In currently loaded page these values are in href attribute and I need to extract those values from that href attibute and then populate parameters Reference, QReference, PartId, type.
<a data-bind="attr: { href: DisplayUrl() }" target="_blank" href="/Display/GetDisplayView?Reference=URamI5yhouguHKqx86RFXA**&QReference=THhfW04ZpJxC1D0AVX14pw**&PartId=jze7XeL_fIM5L5lcGQCv53jUFe8yRvKV_aUQCJ4dJRzAI0s3grkfM9qxgyTgSts3&type=ebayDi49bY2kXrAQdf64wg**&_=sK8FCsmYiq6YKLOnGu_s34CFScum6KwX5m_7v_7glbc*">
<img data-bind="attr: { src: OpenInNewWindowIcon() }" style="border:0;float:left;padding-left:8px;" src="../../Content/Themes/Images/Summary/icon-new-small-window.gif">
</a>
How can I extract http value with Regular Expression Extractor?

You should add Regular Expression Extractor after GET Sampler.
Patterns will look like:
QReference=(.+?);
PartId=(.+?);
type=(.+?);

Extract a value from actionlink html response body - JMeter

I have a response body from one http request and I have to extract all the values and as input to another http request
<a class="action-link"
regionName="region name"
jName="a country"
alertID="179"
onclick="showDetail(this)"> Snapshot- v4 (Active)
</a>
i tried with regex like
created a post processors -> regular expression extractors
Apply to -> Main Sample Only
Field to check -> Body
Name of created variable -> regionNameVariable
Regular Expression -> <a class="action-link" regionName=(.*?)
and passed the value as ${regionNameVariable} in the next request.
But It is not working.
Can someone suggest the correct way of doing this.
Be aware that using regular expressions for parsing HTML is not a very good idea, consider using CSS Selector Extractor instead, the relevant configuration would be:
Name of created variable: regionNameVariable
CSS Selector Expression: a[class=action-link]
Attribute: regionName

How to Use the CSS/JQuery Extractor in JMeter
Add multiple Regular expression extractor to extract each values
For example to extract the 3rd group in regex of Region Name(You can write better Regx if you have better idea)
Like Wise Add Regex for jName and alertID
(jName)(=)\"(.+)\"
(alertID)(=)\"(.+)\"
Then Pass on the Reference name as user variable in your next http request.as ${regionName} and so on.
If you want to do it in the same Regex post Processor. Please refer How to extract multiple values with a regular expression in Jmeter

Need a regexr to fetch the multiple data

I need a regrex to get the value in the below format
Code=ABC&cellNo=314&payType=0&transmission=MANUAL&vendorId=ET&toggleSelctd=0&uniqueId=39
This is a sample code is attached in the below screenshot
but however the regrex which i have created fetches data for one value but i need the same in the above format, for example below are the regrex.
name="cellNo" type="hidden" value="(.+?)" value="(.+?)
name="transmission" type="hidden" value="(.+?)"
Thanks
Don't use regular expressions to parse HTML. JMeter offers CSS/JQuery Extractor for fetching data from the HTML pages so you should be able to extract the required values using the following configurations:
For MANUAL:
Reference Name: anything meaningful, i.e. transmission
CSS/JQuery Expression: input[id=transmission]
Attribute: value
For 314
Reference Name: anything meaningful, i.e. CellNo
CSS/JQuery Expression: input[id=CellNo]
Attribute: value
See How to Use the CSS/JQuery Extractor in JMeter article for more information.
I think response markup is a little bit flaky as HTML input cannot have 2 name and 2 value tags, I would recommend using JMeter's HTML Assertion or online HTML Validator to check response data and raise issues on validation errors.

Selenium Xpath how do i get the value of an html id tag using starts-with

I have a html with a div tag which has an id attribute. I would like to get the value of the id attribute using starts-with in Xpath.
Here is an HTML snippet:
<div id="operations_edit_process_list_task_3">
<span/>
<span>
<span class=" myinlineblock" title="Clean"
style="white-space:nowrap;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;empty-cells:show;">
<select tabindex="-1">
</span>
</span>
Using Xpath starts with I would like to get the id value into a variable so i can use it later in my code.
The number 3 at the end is dynamic, if i can use starts-with then i can get the id value out.
I tried the following Xpath, it does not work:
//div[starts-with[#div="operations_edit_process_list_task"]]
What is the correct syntax?
Thanks,
Riaz
I'm not sure how to do it with xpath, but with css_selector you can do
element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("[id^='operations_edit_process_list_task']")
id = element.get_attribute("id")
# do whatever you want with the id value
I think the correct syntax for xpath is
//*[starts-with(div, "operations_edit_process_list_task")]
To find an element with an XPath where the id starts with :
"//*[starts-with(#id,'beginning of id')]"
To find an element with a CSS selector where the id starts with :
"[id^='beginning of id']"

Extracting string from jmeter response using regular expression extractor

I'm trying to extract the string (201 & 202) from the html response code below.
So far I have tried the following regex
punumber=(.+)
but the problem is that there are many instances of the punumber on the page and gets me stuff that I dont need.
The string i need are inside the <h3 class="content-title">.
So can someone please help me write a regex to extract the punumber within the h3 class only?
<h3 class="content-title">
<!-- change when this is completed -->
<a href="/container/recentIssue.jsp?punumber=201">
Title 1
</a>
</h3>
<h3 class="content-title">
<!-- change when this is completed -->
<a href="/container/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=202">
Title 1
</a>
</h3>
This works for me:
Reference Name : test
Regexp : punumber=([^"]+?)"
Template : $1$
Match No : -1
(this will get all values)
NV_punumber
With -1, JMeter will create:
${test_1} => 201
${test_2} => 202
Here is the regex that works for me :
punumber=(\d+)
If you're parsing html you should consider using something else other than regex to extract info like jsoup.
Anyways here is the jmeter test file attached with dummy sampler(with regex post processor) simulating your case and debug sampler that gets the result you want.
http://pastebin.com/Uti8Pv9E
You can possibly combine in this case XPath Extractor with structured query (to get all href values with punumber from ONLY instances inside <h3> tags) together with extracting then punumber value from href in ForEach Controller loop.
. . .
YOUR HTTP REQUEST
XPath Extractor
Use Tidy = true
Reference Name = punum
XPath Query = //h3[#class="content-title"]/a[text()="Title 1"]/#href
Default value = NOT_FOUND
ForEach Controller
Input variable prefix = punum
Output variable name = pnum
Add "_" before number = true
User Parameters
cnt = ${__counter(FALSE,)}
Regular Expression Extractor
Apply to = Jmeter Variable = pnum
Reference Name = punumber_${cnt}
Regular Expression = punumber=(\d+)
Template = $1$
Match No. = 1
Default value = NOT_FOUND
...
. . .
XPath Extractor will give you hrefs values of all the <a> items under <h3> tag as punum_1,punum_2,...,punum_N vars.
Foreach Controller takes one after another punum_X var, refers it as pnum, applies to it RegEx Extractor to get punumber value and stores extracted value as punumber_1, punumber_2,...,punumber_N (using counter defined in User Parameters and incremented each step).
NOTE: Since here XPath Extractor is used to parse HTML (not XML) response ensure that Use Tidy (tolerant parser) option is CHECKED (in XPath Extractor's control panel).
Same test-plan available here: http://db.tt/dnACZtGL (I've used #ant's one from his answer, thank him).

The regular expression for finding the image url in <img> tag in HTML using VB .Net code

I want to extract the image url from any website. I am reading the source info through webRequest. I want a regular expression which will fetch the Image url from this content i.e the Src value in the <img> tag.
I'd recommend using an HTML parser to read the html and pull the image tags out of it, as regexes don't mesh well with data structures like xml and html.
In C#: (from this SO question)
var web = new HtmlWeb();
var doc = web.Load("http://www.stackoverflow.com");
var nodes = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//img[#src]");
foreach (var node in nodes)
{
Console.WriteLine(node.src);
}
/(?:\"|')[^\\x22*<>|\\\\]+?\.(?:jpg|bmp|gif|png)(?:\"|')/i
is a decent one I have used before. This gets any reference to an image file within an html document. I didn't strip " or ' around the match, so you will need to do that.
Try this*:
<img .*?src=["']?([^'">]+)["']?.*?>
Tested here with:
<img class="test" src="/content/img/so/logo.png" alt="logo homepage">
Gives
$1 = /content/img/so/logo.png
The $1 (you have to mouseover the match to see it) corresponds to the part of the regex between (). How you access that value will depend on what implementation of regex you are using.
*If you want to know how this works, leave a comment
EDIT
As nearly always with regexp, there are edge cases:
<img title="src=hack" src="/content/img/so/logo.png" alt="logo homepage">
This would be matched as 'hack'.
