Mike, After downloading the build from 02-14-2003 I was able to accomplish what I set out to do. I am able to extract the datasetName from one request and use it in the regular expression to get the datasetid. Both parameters get substituted correctly.
This build also doesn't have the bug that mulitplies the assertion conditions.

Mike, I found the new extractor. Is the meaning of the fields exactly the same as in the regexFunction? Should it be placed in the request element that needs to send the extracted value with the http request or should it be attached to the previous node that receives the response. Kind of like the assertion response. I also found a new bug in this build. I am not sure if it is affected by the addition of the new extractor but for some reason the entries in the list of assertions in the Response Assertion get doubled each time I click on the assertion node in the tree. They persist after saving so that is not a UI only problem.

I think you misunderstood. The new Extractor in the latest CVS is not a function at all. It's a new gui element that gives you the same capabilities as the __regexFunction. Look for it in the right-click menu under your sampler. Your example below seems impossible, so I don't know what to say. I don't see how your second regex could have possibly worked. -Mike On 13 Feb 2003 at 13:33, Lorenc, Swavek wrote: > Mike, > > I downloaded and built the 02-13-2003 source.
