Hi -
I have run into problems getting JMeter to do text assertions on certain
HTML text.
I want JMeter response assertions to ensures HTML snippets like the one
below occur in the HTTP response:
--------------------------------------------------------
<input type="hidden" name="NEW_ITEM-DESCRIPTION[1]" value = "Leader ohp
trolley">
--------------------------------------------------------
This requires that things like the quotation mark ('"'), be escaped. JMeter
uses Jakarta-ORO which implements Perl-compatible regular expressions (doco:
http://jakarta.apache.org/oro/index.html). So I figured using Perl
quotemeta could escape the text properly:
--------------------------------------------------------
bash$ perl -le 'print quotemeta q/<input type="hidden"
name="NEW_ITEM-DESCRIPTION[1]" value = "Leader ohp trolley">/'
--------------------------------------------------------
That gave me:
--------------------------------------------------------
\<input\ type\=\"hidden\"\ name\=\"NEW_ITEM\-DESCRIPTION\[1\]\"\ value\ \=\
\"Leader\ ohp\ trolley\"\>
--------------------------------------------------------
This worked to an extent. The problem is that Jakarta-ORO/JMeter does not
like certain things Perl quotemeta does -- like the escaping of spaces ('\
'), or escaping square brackets ('\[1\]').
Can anyone let me know a good way to escape the HTML snippets above so that
JMeter can use it in a response assertions?
With regards,
