Hi,
Does anyone know how to extract a URL param from a URL a brower has been redirected to?
e.g.
1) Browse to test.php?createform=1
2) Site redirects to newpage.php?id=1
the 'id' need to subsequently be used in each request but I can't see how to extract the id from the redirected URL to use in subsequent submissions.
Charlie...

Charlie,
Your recorded test case among other should include 2 requests:
Request 1 – to URL test.php?createform=1;
Response 1 should have a header "location" with the value newpage.php?id=1
Request 2 – to URL newpage.php?id=1
To solve your task try to create 2extractors and 2+ parameterization rules.
1. Select request 1 and create a Header extractor from the header "location". Select "location" from the drop-down (not shown on the screenshot below). Let's call it myRedirectURL.
2. From the same request 1 create a Test Delimited extractor; let's call it myRedirectID. In the "ends with" text box enter the "new line" value "\n" (assuming that the location header is separated from the subsequent header by the "new line").
3. To implement redirect, select request 2 and use the extractor myRedirectURL to parameterize the Header {PATH}
4. Use extractor myRedirectID to parameterize any other subsequent requests in your test case where you need to use the ID
Does it make sense?
Cheers,
-Vadim

Vadim,
All makes sense - thank you - I had looked at this but....there is one problem the \n or in my case \r doesn't seem to work. I can search for text on the next line i.e. Set-Cookie but not \r or \n - nothing comes back. If I use Set-Cookie as the end search the CRLF will be included and if the header order changes I'm stuffed.
Here is my response with the CRLFs in view:
Here is the response text
<START>
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Location: form2.php?table_name=forms&form_id=19281
Set-Cookie: identity_se_id=224FD904-DCA6-4270-96CC-C6A84BDFBB41; httponly Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 15:19:33 GMT
Content-Length: 176
<head><title>Document Moved</title></head> <body><h1>Object Moved</h1>This document may be found <a HREF="form2.php?table_name=forms&form_id=19281">here</a></body>
<END>
Is there something special to do when searching for \r or \n?

Charlie,
It may be simpler to use a Regular Expression Extractor. Try the following regular expression:
form_id=(\d+)
To test if extractor works, click on "Verify Extractor" Button.

Max,
Thanks for the hint but unfortunately there seems to be a bug in the software with regular expressions. Screenshot attached - can't attach through the company firewall?!? with the ajax image uploder...
The error is:
The "Reg Expr" field can't be empty
When I click the verify extractor button - Version 2.0.4635

Mark, the software just notified me and I thought I'd look for a reply to this topic and low and behold!
p.s. velocity engine could be an easy way to add c# scripting via a known(ish) format to enabled dynamic data sources re my other post for gnerating unique IDs. Just a thought and thanks for the fix.

Mark,
Most kind, we're buying the software but the time it takes to actually purchase something in a big company is an age and it will certianly bridge the gap.
Thanks again,
Charlie
