Jmeter variable from response

Question

Is it posible to bind to a variable value from response and then pass it as parameter to other http request?

Answer 1

The earlier answer to this is hopelessly outdated.

Using the Post-Processor > Regular Expression Extractor, it is quite simple to extract any portion of the response.

The newer versions of JMeter also have Reg Exp tester options in the Listener > View Results in Tree, so you can perfect the regex till it does exactly what you want it to.

Earlier Answer:

It should be possible to extract an element from the response using the Regular Expression Extractor and store it in a variable which can be referred from further requests.

See Extract multiple strings on http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-jmeter/RegularExpressions and this example http://jmeter-tips.blogspot.com/2010/06/tip-12-how-to-add-http-request-sampler.html
