    Hi,

     

    So to generate a random number every time (with the same number of digits that you have in your example) you can use:

     

    ${= ((String)(int)(Math.random()*10000000000000)).padLeft(14,'0')}

    This would generate something like:

     

    00002147483647

     

    Breaking the one-liner down:

     

    (int)(Math.random()*10000000000000) //generates a random integer >0 and <10000000000000

    Then, to get the right number of digits every time, I padded the number with zeros from the left:

     

    .padLeft(14,'0')

    Will this do?

     

    Regards,

    Rup

Hi,

 

If the value to substitute can be random, then maybe you could try something like:

${=(int)(Math.random()*1000000000)}

You can always append prefix string etc.

 

If you would like a sequential number (unique across TestCase executions when run by a load test), then you need to make sure you store the number somewhere shared e.g. a counter property stored against the TestSuite and incremented when the TestCase is run.

 

I am in the process of blogging something that has an example of a sequential number generator. Not quite finished yet, but let me know if its useful and I'll finish it off (actually may go beyond what you need):

You can also take data items from a shared datasource e.g. database or file, using a Groovy TestStep in the TestCase. A bit harder to explain in a sentence, let me know if you want more info on this.

 

Basically there's a few good options depending on your exact requirement.

 

Regards,

Rupert

Hi Rupert

 

Many thanks for the quick reply

 

I am okay to have a random number for each run.

 

I am a new to SoapUI, can you please help me in getting the exact syntax pls

 

for the line below:

<userEquipmentInfoData>11122233344455</userEquipmentInfoData>

 

the 111222333344455, I want to have this value generated randomly

 

 

Or pls help in writing the code to take the numbers from the text file on my computer.
