How can I read multiple values from a single cell in CSV file in jmeter . I have an excel sheet as .csv input and one of its column has mobile numbers which have 2 or more values.eg
987#765#456 Which sampler should I use.
now I want it to split at # as 987,765,456
To read the csv file in JMeter, use CSV data set config.
Check this link to understand how to use CSV data set config in JMeter.
Lets assume the column name is mobileNo which has the value as 987#765#456.
Use Beanshell preprocessor to replace '#' by ','.
mobileNo = vars.get("mobileNo");
mobileNo = mobileNo.replace("#", ",");
vars.put("mobileNo",mobileNo);
You can use JMeter's __javaScript function to replace all occurences of # with , as follows:
Given that your 987#765#456 bit lives as ${mobileNumber} JMeter Variable:
${__javaScript("${mobileNumber}".split('#').join('\,'),mobileNumber)}
The script above replaces all "at" signs with commas and stores the result in "mobileNumber" JMeter Variable.
To learn more about different JMeter Functions refer to How to Use JMeter Functions post series.

I want to pass value from my csv file in json extractor but it's not working.
I have tried like [?(#.name == '${UserName}')].id but when i am simply writing Username without taking it from CSV then it is working.
Double check that your UserName variable exists and has the anticipated value using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination
As long as the associated JMeter Variable exists you should be able to use it in the JSON Extractor
So I am loading data from CSV Data Set Config, what I like to do is write a value of a variable back into the next column of that same file in the same row but on the next column.
I check "url" for some specific response json, extract and create a variable "status" and "action" and add it to the row
Is it even possible to write back to the source csv file? Maybe some post processor script? Searching here is like a needle in a haystack sometimes.
It is possible but I wouldn't recommend it as if you implement this post-processor logic and run your test with > 1 user most probably you will get into a race condition when several threads are concurrently writing into the same file.
Alternatives are:
Adding your status and action variables values to JMeter's .jtl result file, just declare the following Sample Variables:
sample_variables=url,status,action
in the user.properties file and next time you run JMeter in command-line non-GUI mode you will see 3 extra columns in the .jtl results file holding the values of these 3 JMeter Variables
If you want a separate file - first of all execute step 1 and then add a Flexible File Writer to your Test Plan and configure it to write the variables into a file, the relevant configuration would be something like:
variable#0|,|variable#1|,|variable#2|\r\n
Sometimes for same param I have to send multiple values ,Please find the details of the request below
GET Request with parameters
http://samplelink.com?name=john,mary,souds
http://samplelink.com?name=ram
http://samplelink.com?name=john,mary,souds,lakhan,jaby
How do I use this in jmeter at runtime to pick the values ? and what should be the file content of csv config.
You can still use CSV Data Set Config, either by using double quotes:
Meter allows values to be quoted; this allows the value to contain a delimiter. If "allow quoted data" is enabled, a value may be enclosed in double-quotes. These are removed. To include double-quotes within a quoted field, use two double-quotes. For example:
1,"2,3","4""5"
Or use different delimiter as # to get values from CSV file:
Delimiter Delimiter to be used to split the records in the file. If there are fewer values on the line than there are variables the remaining variables are not updated - so they will retain their previous value
For example file would be:
1#2,3#4,5
The easiest is going for __StringFromFile() function.
For example you have file names.txt in JMeter's "bin" folder with the following content in it:
john,mary,souds
ram
john,mary,souds,lakhan,jaby
Once done you can just use __StringFromFile() function in the HTTP Request sampler "Path" field like:
http://samplelink.com?name=${__StringFromFile(names.txt)}

What's the syntax to write an array for solr in a csv file?, i need to update a multivalued field but when i upload the file, the data get all in the array but like just one element like this:
multiField:["data1,data2,data3"]
instead of this
multiField:["data1", "data2" , "data3"]
how i can write this in the csv file by default?
You can use the split parameter to split a single field into multiple values:
&f.multiField.split=,
.. should do what you want.
I have a csv file that looks like this:
varCust_id,varCust_name,varCity,varStateProv,varCountry,varUserId,varUsername
When I run the HTTP Post Request to create a new customer, I get a JSON response. I am extracting the cust_id and cust_name using the json extractor. How can I enter this new value into the csv for the correct variable? For example, after creating the customer, the csv would look like this:
varCust_id,varCust_name,varCity,varStateProv,varCountry,varUserId,varUsername
1234,My Customer Name
Or once I create a user, the file might look like this:
varCust_id,varCust_name,varCity,varStateProv,varCountry,varUserId,varUsername
1234,My Customer Name,,,,9876,myusername
In my searching through the net, I have found ways and I'm able to append these extracted variables to a new line but in my case, I need to replace the value in the correct location so it is associated to the correct variable I have set up in the csv file.
I believe what you're looking to do can be done via a BeanShell PostProcessor and is answered here.
Thank you for the reply. I ended up using User Defined Variables for some things and BeanShell PreProcessors for other bits vs. using the CSV.
Well, never tried this. But what you can do is create all these variables and set them to Null / 0.
Once done, update these during your execution. At the end, you can concatenate these with any delimiter (say ; or Tab) and just push in CSV as a single string.
Once you got data in CSV, you can easily split in Ms excel.
