Answer 1

1. First of all using regular expressions for parsing HTML is not the best idea, consider going for CSS Selector Extractor instead

2. There is "Match No" setting which controls which "occurrence" will be stored into a JMeter Variable. If you put -1 there JMeter will get all "occurrences" and store them into variables like:

   occurrence_1=value1
   occurrence_2=value2
   ...
   occurrence_matchNr=the number of "occurrences"
   

   You can see what variables does your Post-Processor generate using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination

   

So you should be able to pass the values as:

• Value1: ${occurrence_12}
• Value2: ${occurrence_11}
• etc.

If response is changed the script will be "affected"
