Hi Alex,

 

Excuse me for not being clear in post description.

Regular expression works fine when specified in data selectors directly. But if a variable containing the expression is specified then the expression fails to extract the value from the response.

I think LoadComplete treats @variable also as regular expression string and does not evaluate the variable.

Hi,

 

Try defining an appropriate auto-correlation rule instead - in the "Find names and extra attributes" section, it is possible to define a regular expression for finding names or extra attributes. Then, it will be possible to reuse found values for building regular expressions for data selectors.
