Parse or Extract Value from HTTP Header

[tamika moody]

I am using a Request Data Protocol Filter to copy a header value to argument.  I am using the full value of the header in a header on the response. 

I also need to extract part of this value 'TA00998'  to be used in a different header.  Any thought on how I do this.  I have tried a scripted assertion as well as but it is not working.  The value will look similar to this:

headervalue = Fault_/V1/invalid/app/id/TA00998
headercode = TA00998

You can capture the value TA00998 to a property using "Create Property Based on Surrounding Values" filter in VSM-->Listen step.

Documentation on the filter is available at https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/devops/devtest-solutions/10-6/reference/filter-descriptions/utility-filters/create-property-based-on-surrounding-values.html

Is this available in 10.5?

Hi Tamika,

You can use the approach suggested by Prema or use script (substring- as i assume the length of headercode will remain constant) to extract the exact expected value from the retrieved value.

Thanks

Where would you add this substring?

[Rahul Verma]

After extracating header value in a proeperty . Add a Execute javascript step anywhere after step where proeprty is extracted and before imageresponse selection step .
In Script get header value from proeprty using testexec . 
Assign that value to a string variable and you can play around the string using any string methods and once done assign that to a propety and place that property in response header in VSI (Respective transaction(s))
