__XPath

Also documented in context in the full Functions and Variables reference.

The XPath function reads an XML file and matches the XPath. Each time the function is called, the next match will be returned. At end of file, it will wrap around to the start. If no nodes matched, then the function will return the empty string, and a warning message will be written to the JMeter log file.

Note

Note that the entire NodeList is held in memory.

Example:

\${__XPath(/path/to/build.xml, //target/@name)}

This will match all targets in build.xml and return the contents of the next name attribute

Name	Required	Description
XML file to parse	Yes	a XML file to parse
XPath	Yes	a XPath expression to match nodes in the XML file
