Example of a variable extractor

• Extracting from the server response body. Given the following content Your order number Mr Smith is:12345 and that the string to be extracted is 12345 to be used in a subsequent request.

  The Variable Extractor is defined with:

  • Variable name: "MyVariable"
  • Extract from: "Message body"
  • Regular expression to be matched: "Your order number(.+)? is:([0-9]+);"
  • Value template: "$2$" as it is the order number that must be extracted and not the name of the person.
  • Occurrence within the page: "1"
  • Use $1$ to obtain the name. ($0$ would return the complete matched text: "Your order number Mr Smith is:12345;")
  • Default value: "-1" for example.
• Extracting from the server response header: The Variable Extractor is defined thus:
  • Extract from: "Header"
  • Regular expression to be matched: "MyHeader: (.*)"
  • Occurrence within page: "1"
  • Value template:"$1$"
