Ok. I see the problem. Move the Regexp extractor to the first sampler. The extractor gets run on the -output- of the sampler it's attached to. So, the variable isn't filled with anything in your case, until your test is done.

And in your case, you still don't need the _g1. But after rereading the docs, it won't hurt, either.

I tried that and the output is just Query Data: timestamp=${stamp}&=
I've tried every combination I can think of to get the $(stamp} (with/without _g1) variable replaced with _anything_ and it never is. :( Why would I need to drop the _g1 anyways since the manual states that _g1 refers to the first group? If anyone has the time to look at them I wrote a quick test page and a jmeter test plan to use the extractor - which doesn't appear to work. Just put the pages in your doc root.
Appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Bob

Drop the _g1 from your variable.

${stamp}
will do what you want.
