Generating sequence number in Beanshell scripting

beanshell, java, jmeter, scripting

Solution

Beanshell is not very Java, I guess you need to use DecimalFormat class instead of String.format() method.

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat( "00000000" );

int  n = 1000;

for (int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
    String sequence = df.format(i);
    System.out.println(sequence);
}

There is a nice Beanshell scripting guide that can help a lot

Problem

I am new to Beanshell scripting. I am trying to generate sequential numbers, the scripting code I tried is as below File Name: sequence.bsh ``` string = new String(); Long[] n = new Long[] {1000}; for (i=0; i < n; i++){ sequence = String.format("%08d", i); System.out.println(sequence); } ``` When I try to run this code I get the below Error: Evaluation Error: Sourced file: sequence.bsh : Operator: '"<"' inappropriate for objects : at Line: 3 : in file: sequence.bsh : ; The above lines of code work as expected in a compiled java program & I get sequence generated from 00000001 to 00009999. I need to know how to rectify this operator error & assign the result to a variable so that I can use it inside a JMeter test case. something like `vars.put("VARNAME", i.toString());` Thanks in advance.
