Hi, The following regexp, which contains a counter variable ${loopCount}, works for me:
general000${loopCount} It matches the value general0001,general0002 etc as ${loopCount} increases. However, this regexp doesn't work: general000(?!${loopCount}) It should match everything but general0001 on the first loop etc. However it matches all values including general0001. Do I need to escape some of the characters? The bigger picture is a test plan with a java sampler. The sampler is designed to select a number of objects from a folder. The regexp above is used to determine which objects to select. I'm not using the jmeter regexFunction, I'm relying on jmeter to carry out the value substitution on the text string which then gets passed into a java class which does the regexp evaluation. Any thoughts appreciated cheers efj -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/using-variable-as-part-of-regular-expression---escapre-characters-tp21352547p21352547.html Sent from the JMeter - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: jmeter-user-unsubscr...@jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: jmeter-user-h...@jakarta.apache.org
