As I've been reading the mailing list it has become apparent that the beanshell is a very powerful tool that can operate directly on a variety of JMeter global variables. For example in a recent thread a beanshell post-processor modified the previous response data with:
String sampleResult = new String(prev.getResponseData()); String temp = sampleResult.substring(0,sampleResult.length()-1); prev.setResponseData(temp.getBytes()); I'd like to learn more about the JMeter variable prev and its kin. I've taken a peak at the JavaDocs and searched the source but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Would someone please help me narrow my search?

But unfortunately this does only work for the assertion, not for the xpath extraction. It seems like the extraction is evaluated before the beanshell post-processor, despite the sort order in the test plan. Is there anything i can do to circumvent this problem?
