Yes, you can do this. Firstly, read http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/user_manual/modification_manager.html
Hopefully, that page will explain what you need to do. If you have further questions, let me know. I will say that, in the latest build, it works quite well. However, it is very exacting, and I usually have to do some work to figure out how to make it work. The errors are generally mine though. -Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 8:12 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Parsing for variable > > > Hello all.
