Hi Neal,
It sounds like a variable scoping problem.
Have you declared this variable up in the 'Test Plan'
scope? I'm not sure if that's required or not.
I haven't used these, but study the difference between using
each of these to see if that makes a difference :
__regexFunction
"The Regex Function is used to parse the previous response"
Regular Expression Extractor
"will execute after each Sample request in its scope"
both documented @ :
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html
The 5th parameter in __regex is the name of the variable to put the
regex match into.
Here's a gotcha if you use a function.
I don't believe white space is allowed
in the function between parameters - at all! If you're used to
putting some white space in there for readability, then ouch!
I recall a previous post to that effect.
