Thanks, it's nice to know I'm not going nuts - at least in this instance. :)
I'm still missing something - though it may be my misinterpretation of the docs.
Again, using 1.9.1 on w2k.
>From the docs it sounds like I can use a single extractor to set multiple variables
>and use the <refName>_g# to reference them in following requests. For example
>(assumes that the reponse being parsed has the text Java <something> Platform in it
>and is on the same line), using the following values in an extractor:
Ref Name: test
Reg Ex: (Java).*?(Platform)
Template: $1$
Match No: 1
Default: hello
I expected to be able to reference these in my next sampler http request via:
template = $(test) <expected to be set to "Java">
firstentry = $(test_g1) <expected to be set to "Java">
secondentry = $(test_g2) <expected to be set to "Platform">
However, the following request is:
Query Data: template=hello&firstentry=${test_g1}&second=${test_g2}&=
If I modify the Reg Ex in the extractor to be (Java) rather than (Java).*?(Platform) I
get the following:
Query Data: template=Java&firstentry=Java&second=${test_g2}&=
I've tested my regex in another tool to make sure that (Java).*?(Platform) does
actually have a match in the response from the first request. Am I misunderstanding
the docs?
Thanks,
Bob

Yes, I remember some modifier (now called pre-processors) that was
working on the result of _previous_ request to decide on some change to
the one where it was placed. I don't know if any of the available
modifiers work this way anymore...
