As per my requirement, I need to upload a .csv file into the application. I am trying to simulate this using loadrunner. The issue I am encoutering is that my csv file is in the below format
Header - AA,BB,CC
Data-xyz,"yyx,zzy",xxz
On using the below statement to upload the file, I am getting an error ""line 2 contains 4 columns instead of 3"
web_submit_data("upload",
"Action=xxx/upload",
"Method=POST",
"EncType=multipart/form-data",
"RecContentType=text/html",
"Referer=xxx",
"Snapshot=t86.inf",
"Mode=HTML",
ITEMDATA,
"Name=utf8", "Value=✓", ENDITEM,
"Name=token", "Value={token_1}", ENDITEM,
"Name=upload_file", "Value={NewParam_5}", "File=yes", "ContentType=text/csv", ENDITEM,
"Name=Button1", "Value=Upload", ENDITEM,
LAST);
AS per information provided in How to deal with a string with comma in it from a csv, when we have to read the data by using loadrunner? ,
I tried updating the .prm file to a new delimiter pipe, | but still i get the error.
[parameter:NewParam_5]
Delimiter="|"
ParamName="NewParam_5"
TableLocation="C:\temp"
ColumnName="Col 1"
I also notice that even though I set the delimiter to pipe, if I rightclick on the web_submit_data() and go to Parameter properties, i see a column delimiter option there as well and it is not set to pipe and is set to comma which indicates that this setting is taking higher precedence to the setting in .prm file.
Can someone please guide me the right way to set a new delimiter so that vugen recognizes and parses the csv file as I want it to.
I am using loadrunner 12.5
Thanks for your help.
Do you need to upload a file or a line of comma separated variables? Right now you appear to be reading a line of CSV variables, not a file as your parameter file would contain a list of filenames or a single file reference within the directory of the virtual user (extra files, transferred with the use) or created by the virtual user and then uploaded.

I have multiple API request bodies and Im passing them using txt file in CSV Data Set Config. This API request bodies have certain values to parameterize. How Do I acheive this? something like paramertize inside parameterized csv file.
If your CSV file contains JMeter Functions or Variables which you want to evaluate in the runtime you need to wrap the variable(s) defined in the CSV Data Set Config into __eval() function
For example if you have:
test.csv file with the single line containing ${foo} and CSV Data Set Config reading this file into some-variable
User Defined Variables which assigns the variable foo the value of bar
And a couple of Debug Samplers for visualization
You will see that:
${some-variable} will return ${foo}, basically the line from the CSV file
${__eval(${some-variable})} will return bar because the variable will be evaluated and its respective value will be resolved.
I have thousands of txt files that are actually in JSON format.
Each file has the same string, with different values, namely:
"Name":"xxx","Email":"yyy#zzz.com"
I want to extract the values of these two strings from all the txt files that I put in the same folder.
I've found these lines of code:
Extract part of a text file using Windows batch
but it only applies to one txt file. Whereas what I need is, it can execute all files in one folder.
You can use the FORFILES command, to loop through each file,
Syntax
FORFILES [/p Path] [/m SrchMask] [/s] [/c Command] [/d [+ | -] {date | dd}]
From the following webpage,

What I want to do is the following...
I want to divide the input file into registers, convert each record into a
file and leave all the files in a directory.
My .csv file has the following structure:
ERP,J,JACKSON,8388 SOUTH CALIFORNIA ST.,TUCSON,AZ,85708,267-3352,,ALLENTON,MI,48002,810,710-0470,369-98-6555,462-11-4610,1953-05-00,F,
ERP,FRANK,DIETSCH,5064 E METAIRIE AVE.,BRANDSVILLA,MO,65687,252-5592,1176 E THAYER ST.,COLUMBIA,MO,65215,557,291-9571,217-38-5525,129-10-0407,1/13/35,M,
As you can see it doesn't have Header row.
Here is my flow.
My problem is that when the Split Proccessor divides my csv into flows with 400 lines, it isn't save in my output directory.
It's first time using NIFI, sorry.
Make sure your RecordReader controller service is configured correctly(delimiter..etc) to read the incoming flowfile.
Records per split value as 1
You need to use UpdateAttribute processor before PutFile processor to change the filename to unique value (like UUID) unless if you are configured PutFile processor Conflict Resolution strategy as Ignore
The reason behind changing filename is SplitRecord processor is going to have same filename for all the splitted flowfiles.
Flow:
I tried your case and flow worked as expected, Use this template for your reference and upload to your NiFi instance, Make changes as per your requirements.
I have to get a file through PDI based on the filename and i want to select file with name matching pattern eligible_for_push which has to be at the end.The file can be .txt or .csv
Please Help
Thanks
There are two part to your query:
1. Finding all files ending with "eligible_for_push":
You cannot use regex to find this sort of pattern (at least i am not aware of). So as an alternate do the following:
Search all the files in the path using "Get Filename" steps. Use modified Javascript to find out the file ending with the above pattern. Check the JS file below.
2. Files can be ".txt" or ".csv":
You can use the below regex/wildcard to find choose between either .txt or .csv
.*\.txt|.*\.csv
Note : Use this code once you have filtered out the files ending with "eligible_for_push". The above JS ignore all the file patterns. After that use the second step to sort out all the .txt or .csv files.
Hope it helps :)
I ran into this problem when uploading a file with a super long name - my database field was only set to 50 characters. Since then, I have increased my database field length, but I'd like to have a way to check the length of the filename before uploading. Below is my code. The validation returns '85' as the character length. And it returns the same count for every different file I upload (none of which have a file name length of 85).
<cfscript>
missing_info = "<p>There was a slight problem with your submission. The following are required or invalid:</p><ul>";
// Check the length of the file name for our database field
if ( len(Form["ResumeFile1"]) gt 100 )
{
missing_info = missing_info & "<li>'Resume File 1' is invalid. Character length must be less than 100. Current count is " & len(Form["ResumeFile1"]) & ".</li>";
validation_error = true;
ResumeFileInvalidMarker = true;
}
</cfscript>
Anyone see anything wrong with this?
Thanks!

After you upload the file, the variable "clientFileName" will give you the name of the uploaded file, without a file extension.
The only way to read the filename before you upload it would be to use JavaScript to read and parse the value (file path) in the file field.
A quick clarification in the wording of your question. By the time your code executes the file upload has already happened. The file resides in a temporary directory on the ColdFusion server and the form field related to the file upload contains the temporary filename for that file. Aside from checking to see if a file has been specified, do not do anything directly with that file or you'll be circumventing some built in security.
You want to use the cffile tag with the upload action (or equivalent udf) to move the temp file into a folder of your choosing. At that point you get access to a structure containing lots of information. Usually I "upload" into a temporary directory for the application, which should be outside of the webroot for security.
At this point you'll then want to do any validation against the file, such as filename length, file type, file size, etc and delete the file if it fails any checks. If it passes all checks then you move it into it's final destination which may be inside the webroot.
In your case you'll want to check the cffile structure element clientFile which is the original filename including extension (which you'll need to check, since an extension doesn't need to be present and can be any length).
