I've been testing. The Response Assertion seems to be handling escaped spaces, quotes, brackets, etc. nicely. In any case, if it doesn't, it's a bug, since the org.apache.oro.text.regex package description says: "Any other backslashed character matches itself." Which means that quotemeta is perfectly appropriate for your purpose (although it tends to escape too much: it essentially escapes all non-alphanumeric characters).
Please double-check your tests.

Hi -
I have run into problems getting JMeter to do text assertions on certain
HTML text.
I want JMeter response assertions to ensures HTML snippets like the one below occur in the HTTP response: -------------------------------------------------------- <input type="hidden" name="NEW_ITEM-DESCRIPTION[1]" value = "Leader ohp trolley"> --------------------------------------------------------
This requires that things like the quotation mark ('"'), be escaped. JMeter
uses Jakarta-ORO which implements Perl-compatible regular expressions (doco:
http://jakarta.apache.org/oro/index.html). So I figured using Perl
quotemeta could escape the text properly: --------------------------------------------------------
bash$ perl -le 'print quotemeta q/<input type="hidden"
name="NEW_ITEM-DESCRIPTION[1]" value = "Leader ohp trolley">/'
--------------------------------------------------------
That gave me:
--------------------------------------------------------
\<input\ type\=\"hidden\"\ name\=\"NEW_ITEM\-DESCRIPTION\[1\]\"\ value\ \=\
\"Leader\ ohp\ trolley\"\> --------------------------------------------------------
This worked to an extent. The problem is that Jakarta-ORO/JMeter does not
like certain things Perl quotemeta does -- like the escaping of spaces ('\
'), or escaping square brackets ('\[1\]').
Can anyone let me know a good way to escape the HTML snippets above so that
JMeter can use it in a response assertions?
