Data collector Error

Hi,

I have created a data collector for a particular response to be captured. I want only a certain part of it to be captured and am using the split function. So the response is below

Success
{
"data": {
"customerId": "1128477",
"contactInformation": {
"email": "test_1@test.com",
"mobileCountryCode": "0091",
"mobileNumber": "1234567890"

I want to capture the customerId and the data collector I am using is

getData().toString().split("customerId":).[1].split(,).[0] 

and this gives me output 

[CANNOT EVALUATE: No target specified]

Am I missing something or doing something wrong? The initial part getData().toString() gives me all the response details but when I try to split it to capture customerId then it gives me the above error. Please help

Regards,

Gopikrishnan

Hi there

There are special characters you have to escape e.g commas

A working getter chain would be like

This will also remove the " and just return the number

getData().toString().split(customerId": ).[1].split(").[0]

To change your one to a working one it would like below

getData().toString().split("customerId":).[1].split(\,).[0]

Ciao
