Thanks for the response. I'm little confused by the syntax used within the 'If Controllers' condition field.
If my regular expression extractor reference name is regex, following your example would my condition read: "regex_matchNr" != "0" Including all the "'s? Wouldn't this always return true? Apologies if I'm misunderstanding. Thanks again.

Try using the "refName_matchNr" variable created by the REGEX: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Regular_Expression_Extractor If there's no match it will be 0, so IFController will be: "refName_matchNr" == "0" or something like that > Secondly using the 'If Controller' I want to be able to add the following > condition: > > ${regex}!=null > > Where null is replaced by the value that gets populated by a regular > expression find failure. similar to above, try using its negative: "refName_matchNr" != "0" > I've tried a number of scenarios ( incl trying to use the Regular > Expression Extractor default value ), but whatever I try fails to execute > the If Controller as expected. > > Any help or examples would be greatly appreciated, > > Thanks in advance, > > > Simon. > > -- > Simon Woodcock > Staff Engineer / Manager > > QUALCOMM Poole Limited > Voyager House, 253-257 High Street North, Poole, Dorset, BH15 1DX UK > Tel: +44 (0)1202 440610, Fax: +44 (0)1202 440601 > www.qualcomm.com<http://www.qualcomm.com> > This e-mail transmission, and any documents, files or previous e-mail > messages attached to it, may contain confidential information that is > legally privileged.
