How can I 'select to end of file' in Notepad?

Question

My Environment: JMeter v2.12, remote Oracle 12, JDK 7

I am using the View Results in Table to view some results of a test.

I have some samplers in my Thread Group that create some XML and submit them to a web service. I am using the 'View Results In Table' listener to view the results, however with many loops it is getting difficult to spot which thread loop the detail is referencing.

My setup is as follows:

Thread Group-->No. of Users: 1, Loop: 8000
-CSV Data Set Config: (provides a csv file with variables for XML)
-Beanshell Sampler: (to create XML, sourcing values from the .csv)
-Beanshell Sampler: (adds SOAP header to XML instance)
-SOAP/XML-RPC Request: (injects SOAP message to webservice)
-View Results In Table

Essentially because my thread group has number of users = 1, it is getting difficult to spot which loop a particular sampler (displayed in the View Results In Table listener) refers to - please see example screenshot below where I had the Loop Count set to 3.

As you can see in the screenshot - the 'Thread Name' column displays in the format 'Thread Group Name 1-1'.

I was hoping it would indicate from the 1-1 value (e.g. 1-3 might indicate the 3rd loop) which loop the different samplers are associated with. This isn't a problem when there are only 3 loops specified, but if I have 8000 (which is what I've got to test) - identifying which results are for which loop is going to be a problem.

So - finally - my question.

Is there any way for the results to display an incremented Thread Group name to reflect which loop is which when my No. of Users = 1, and Loop Count = many?

Many thanks!

Solution 1

Place the cursor at the start of your selection then:

Ctrl + Shift + End

To select to the end of notepad.

Solution 2

FYI in OSX you have to use the alternative key command like so:

control + fn + →

This arose when I was remote desktoping into a Windows 2000 server from my OSX laptop.

Did you try the "End" button and "Ctrl"+"End"?

All of my exercise comes from a computer so I better take what little I can find (:

Cheers to both for responding - really helped me out.

Thanks, Phydaux. It would never have entered my head to try that.

@Brian Hooper, no problem. It's a fairly ubiquitous keyboard short cut. Ctrl + Shift + Home will take you to the start too.

To elaborate, End alone means go to the end of the line, Ctrl+End means go to the end of the line. Adding Shift to the mix selects along the way (as it would with just Shift and arrow keys or even the mouse)

@Alex I think you mean "file" in your second sentence ;) @Brian it works with other combinations of Ctrl and Shift, too. Ctrl+Right will move along words, for example. Holding Shift while making movements will select the text that you are moving over. Ctrl+Shift+Right will select a word at a time. Shift+PgDown will select from the current cursor position down a page. Play around with it.

@Corey: Maybe ;)

On my laptop, where end is doubled on the right arrow key instead, I additionally needed fn key for end of file.

I think this is a bit irrelevant to this question, unless you want to post the possible combinations for all computer systems :)

@leinad13 - I would typically not do this, but wasn't finding results when I googled, hence why I posted it.

The question doesn't mention a Mac.

Works with Notepad++ as well
