Question

I’m trying to extract the string (201 & 202) from the html response code below.
So far I have tried the following regex

punumber=(.+)

but the problem is that there are many instances of the punumber on the page and gets me stuff that I dont need.
The string i need are inside the <h3 class="content-title">.

So can someone please help me write a regex to extract the punumber within the h3 class only?

<h3 class="content-title">
<!--  change when this is completed -->
    <a href="/container/recentIssue.jsp?punumber=201">
    Title 1
    </a>
</h3>

<h3 class="content-title">
<!--  change when this is completed -->
    <a href="/container/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=202">
    Title 1
    </a>                                    
</h3>

Answer 1

This works for me:

Reference Name : test
Regexp : punumber=([^"]+?)"

Template : $1$

Match No : -1

(this will get all values)
NV_punumber

With -1, JMeter will create:

• ${test_1} => 201

• ${test_2} => 202
