Using The Regex Coach <sp>cat<sp>.*?id=(\d+)<sp> gets 15 from the following example
<form> blah blah cat blah blah noid blah blah </form> <form> blah blah horse blah blah id=15 blah blah </form> What I think I need is a search within a backreference (<form.*<sp>cat<sp>.*?</form)\1id=(\d+)<sp> however this does not work within The Regex Coach. I tried this inside JMeter RegExp Extractor regex: (<form.*<sp>cat<sp>.*?</form) template: $1$id=(\d+)<sp> but that did not work either. What am I missing?
