Try doing a find on this regex:

value="([^"]+)"

And then access the following in the template:

$1$

See the demo link below for an example of this working.

Be informed that using Regular Expression Extractor for parsing HTML is not the best idea, I would recommend going for CSS Selector Extractor instead, the relevant configuration would be as simple as:

  • Selector: input[name=formToken]
  • Attribute: value

Demo:

  • I've read of performance considerations when using CSS Extractor, do you reckon the impact is negligible? – Tinashe Chinyanga Jul 25 '21 at 13:32
  • Try copying your response data into a [Dummy Sampler](https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/jmeters-dummy-sampler-the-ultimate-guide/), set connect time, latency and response time to 0 and perform 2 tests, one with Regular Expression Extractor and another one with CSS Selector Extractor. Compare the throughput/number of samples using [Summary Report](https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Summary_Report) listener or equivalent. The one which have more throughput will have better performance. – Dmitri T Jul 25 '21 at 14:38
  • Thanks for the above @dmitri. Will give this a short and let you know. – Tinashe Chinyanga Jul 27 '21 at 19:06

Try with the following Regex:

value="(.+?)"
