The Response data look like following within Script tag
var csrfParam =
"SKtEMgZtO0H8EYHkAZIQ4tcS5bC8jKrD=y2G5Of06jgHbkNdHNleFKiXoBMC62veD";
var securityTokenName = "SKtEMgZtO0H8EYHkAZIQ4tcS5bC8jKrD";
var securityTokenValue = "y2G5Of06jgHbkNdHNleFKiXoBMC62veD";
I'm using regular expression extractor as following:
Reference name : MYREF
Regular Expression : securityTokenName ="(.+?)" securityTokenValue="(.+?)"
Template : $1$$2$
I'm access this variable in next Jmeter request to build the URL:
${MYREF_g1}
${MYREF_g2}
Expecting to get MYREF_g1 =SKtEMgZtO0H8EYHkAZIQ4tcS5bC8jKrD
and MYREF_g2 =y2G5Of06jgHbkNdHNleFKiXoBMC62veD
But THIS is not working .
Any help would appreciated!
It looks like that you're misunderstanding what groups and templates are.
As per Using RegEx (Regular Expression Extractor) with JMeter
Template. The template used to create a string from the matches found.
This is an arbitrary string with special elements to refer to groups
within the regular expression. The syntax to refer to a group is:
'$1$' to refer to group 1, '$2$' to refer to group 2, etc. $0$ refers
to whatever the entire expression matches. So, if you have in response
word “economics” and search for regular expression “(ec)(onomics)” and
apply template $2$$1$ than in output variable you will receive
“onomicsec”.
So your RegEx should look like:
var securityTokenName = "(.+?)"; var securityTokenValue = "(.+?)";
So
securityTokenName will be stored in JMeter Variable MYREF_g1
securityTokenValue will be stored in JMeter Variable MYREF_g2
View Results Tree Listener has built-in RegExp Tester on ResponseData tab. You can also use Debug Sampler to see what variables have been set by your Regular Expression Extractor.
You need multiline regex match. Your regex will look like this
(?s)securityTokenName="(.+?)".*?securityTokenValue="(.+?)";
A sample test plan (it uses dummy sampler from jmeter plugins, if you don't have them it will faile) is here.
This post here discusses that simply having .*? will match multiple line, but apparently it did not work. This post wast the savior.
Details are from the jmeter documentation are here.
Please note that I have removed the spaces around = to simplify my sample. Please change the regex appropriately.

this works, but how can I ignore the quotation marks in the form of my token "token"
i don't want him to get the quotation marks
I would use Boundary Extractor
Put Left and Right Boundary as " and you will get the value
Allows the user to extract values from a server response using left and right boundaries. As a post-processor, this element will execute after each Sample request in its scope, testing the boundaries, extracting the requested values, generate the template string, and store the result into the given variable name
You need to provide the Template and specify the capturing group (in your case it will be 1)

I have issue with debug sampler not showing regular expression extractor in Jmeter. Kindly refer the tree below:
Here is the information in my regular expression extractor:
There's no regular expression variables shown in debug sampler output:
Can help to see what's the real issue here? FYI I'm scripting using webtours demo website & havent parameterize username and password yet coz i want to make sure my correlation works first. Thanks.
Without seeing the response it's hard to say what is wrong, most probably your Regular Expression Extractor fails somewhere somehow, as per documentation:
Template
The template used to create a string from the matches found. This is an arbitrary string with special elements to refer to groups within the regular expression. The syntax to refer to a group is: '$1$' to refer to group 1, '$2$' to refer to group 2, etc. $0$ refers to whatever the entire expression matches.
so for sure you need to change $1 to $1$
Using regular expressions for parsing HTML is not the best idea, I would recommend consider using CSS Selector Extractor instead, the relevant configuration would be something like
I don't think your PostProcessor placement is correct, it's a Post processor so according to the JMeter test elements execution order it is executed after the sampler and you're trying to use the variable in the same request. So my expectation is that you need to move it under the "Homepage" sampler

Need help on building a regular expression to extract the value "2:_id93" and the uid. Here there are multiple sets of data with different status. How ever, i would like to search for the values corresponding to "In Update"
In Update
Can you try the below regular expression?
In Update(.*?)policytableId:(.*?)',null,\[\['uid','(.*?)'
Add Regular Expression Extractor as a child of the request which returns the above data
Configure it like:
Name of created variable: anything meaningful, i.e. id
Regular Expression: In Update.*searchResults:policytableId:(.+?)'
Template: $1$
That's it, you should be able to access the extracted value as ${id} where required.

I did read few responses but my regular expression extractor is not working.
Mine is a simple case where this is my response
token.id=AQIC5wM2LY4Sfcz4cOT2RrremxWJmM3llZmPl6k0bP_r5D4.AAJTSQACMDUAAlNLABQtNDI1OTg4NzgxODg5MDM1ODU2NQACUzEAAjI3
I am trying to grab the value using this expression
token.id="(.*?)"
which is not saving the value into the variable i assigned. My next request when trying to use the value fails since its not grabbing it.
Can someone let me know what exactly is missing. thanks.
There are few problems with your regular expression:
You need to escape dot between "token" and "id" with backslash as it is a special character. See Literal Characters article for more information.
You don't need the quotations marks as your response doesn't contain them (does it?)
So your regular expression needs to be amended as token\.id=(.*) (however I would rather go for something like token\.id=(\w.+)
You can use View Results Tree listener in "RegExp Tester" mode to test your regular expressions directly against response without having to re-run the request.
See Regular Expressions JMeter documentation chapter and How to debug your Apache JMeter script guide for extended information on the above approaches.
In beanshell is it possible to dump the contents of the entire page into a String?
Something like:
String entirePage = vars.get(entire-page)
If you're doing it in Beanshell PostProcessor, it has data pre-defined variable which stands for byte array containing parent sampler response.
So something like:
String entirePage = new String(data);
vars.put("entire-page", entirePage);
should do the trick for you.
Another approach you can take is using Regular Expression Extractor. As per How to Extract Data From Files With JMeter guide regular expression which matches literally everything will look as (?s)(^.*)
