The variable you need is called refName_matchNr not refName_matchNR as per the documentation. This is for the regex extractor (not the function, which does not set up the variable). Try a regular expression of the form: example \d and set Match no: -1 S. -----Original Message----- From: Alan Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 May 2004 18:09 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Finding the number of occurences of a given string... Hi, I've sent out this email before but got no responses back. I hope someone can help me out this time. Here is my question: >From a given long string contained in a variable, I would like to get the number of occurrences of a certain substring that I also provide. For example, if I have a user defined variable called ${text} which contains "example 1 example 2 example 3", and my substring to match is "example", then the output should be 3. I was trying to use regular expressions extractor and the regular expressions function for this but could not figure out how to make it to output the number of occurrences. This is the Perl statement that I am trying to convert to something JMeter can understand: $text = "example 1 example 2 example 3"; print ($text =~ s/example/example/g); the output is 3 I also tried using the extended Perl regular expressions, but couldn't get it to work either. Any help would be much appreciated.
