The relevant Regular Expression Configuration would be:

  • Reference Name: anything meaningful, i.e. showDocument
  • Regular Expression: <showDocument>(.+?)</showDocument>
  • Template: $1$

Regex Tester

You can access extracted value as ${showDocument} where required. See Regular Expressions chapter of JMeter User Manual for more details

By the way, your response part looks like XML so it might be easier and better to consider using XPath Extractor instead. In that case XPath Tutorial would be extremely helpful.
