Just happened across the Sun Java regex tutorial: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/regex/index.html
JMeter does not use Java.util.regex - but I imagine most of the material will be relevant.

These are Perl5 compatible so a Perl book might help, otherwise "Mastering Regular Expressions" by O'Reilly is recommended in the JavaDoc for JDK 1.4 (Java regular expressions are based on Perl) - see the Package summary for java.util.regex.

However, I still have troubles with getting it working properly. The first problem is connected with the "Match No." parameter of RegExtractor - when I set it to 0 or 1 it works just nice. But when I use any other number I get "no match". I'm sure there's more than one occurence of of a string I search for but I can't get to it. > And here goes the second problem - I want to extract all image sources on web page.
