> Normally I would use RegEx for that. But it would be a lot easier to use Perl or shell scripts to parse the Response Data the way I want. How Can I make JMeter invoke a shell script , and use its result instead of the built-in Response Assertion (which takes ORO RegEx).
At least Jmeter core doesn't have any support for executing arbitary system commands (not sure about 3rd party extensions). You need to write a plug-in Assertation component (Java) for JMeter which invokes native system Perl command, passes out the request data (and all known Jmeter variables?) via stdin, then reads stdout and parses Response Data again. A better alternative would invoke Perl directly from Java, but I am not sure if there exists Java<->Perl bridges. Quite much of work if you are not very skilled with Java. -Mikko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
