Gatling - Split Value In Check

I have a HTML element from a HTTP request like so:

<input type="radio" data-trip="0" id="fareRadioId_" name="pricefare" value="H15CNGE~SHATSA~220420150955~3332|H15CNGE~TSASHA~270420150715~338" class="pricefare" data-toggle="radio" checked="checked">

I'm used to pulling a value from a CSS select like so:

.check(css("input#fareRadioId_0.select_departure", "value").saveAs("departSellKey"))

But after I've selected the value in the element above which is "H15CNGE~SHATSA~220420150955~3332|H15CNGE~TSASHA~270420150715~338", I want to split it in to parts, with the split character being "|", and save the two parts in to session with 2 different names. Is this possible?

I've pretty new to Gatling and Scala so this is a little above my head at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to save the two parts with different names, but it's fairly easy to perform the split and store the result as a Seq, after which you can access it with indexes etc.

What you need to do is insert a suitable transformer into your check:

.check(css("...").transform(_.split('|').toSeq).saveAs("sellKeys"))

This takes the String from the css() expression, does a split() on it (which creates an Array[String]) and then converts it to a Seq because they're nicer to work with :-)

The Seq is then saved into sellKeys, so later on you can do things like (silly example):

 .exec( session => {
    val keys = session("sellKeys").as[Seq[String]]
    println(s"keys are ${keys.mkString(" and ")}")
    println(s"the first key is ${keys.head}") 
    session 
    }
)

Output:

keys are H15CNGE~SHATSA~220420150955~3332 and H15CNGE~TSASHA~270420150715~338
the first key is H15CNGE~SHATSA~220420150955~3332
