The regex extractor and function both allow one to specify a default value, which is returned if the regex does not match.
Try it and see. You can use a dummy JavaSampler to display the contents of any variable(s) by including a reference to the variable(s).

I think the suggestion will work well for the first part of my requirement: > I want to extract the value of id from the form > section where the text includes cat. e.g. 54 However, I don't think it will work for this second part: > Further, if id= does not exist within the form > section where the text includes cat, then return > false or similar. e.g. If the response was like this: <form> blah blah dog blah blah id=32 blah blah </form> <form> blah blah cat blah blah noid blah blah </form> <form> blah blah horse blah blah id=15 blah blah </form> in this case I think the suggested regexp would return 15? I was thinking that ForEach may assist if I actually had to go through a list of extracted values (e.g. dog id=32, cat id=54, horse id=15). However this may not be necessary.
