Dear Avian Liao and JMeter users: Try putting your regular expression and web page text in a regular expression tester. Test the regular expression to make sure it matches the target string in the web page.
Suggestions that do not matter for your central problem: You can simplify the expression from (\w*-\w*-\w*-\w*-\w*) to: ([\w|-]+) This matches one or more characters where each character is a word character OR the hyphen. The asterisk matches zero or more characters, which might be the trouble. The asterisks allow the expression to match "----". You might try changing the Template parameter to $0$ (which returns the whole match) and removing the parentheses from the regular expression: [\w|-]+ In the immortal words of Sebb, hope this helps.

When I am said "same set of data", I mean there are couple of same "3FFBE12D-AA29-B37B-4612-8173B7C2CCE7" in the one page, and for my test, I do not care which one I catch (since they are identical), and I just need that value to go on. Besides Regular Expressions Extractor,can we use another sampler or function to catch the value. I saw the value I need in response data(when I use View Response Tree), and I just cannot catch it. Alao, if someone know how to catch the same set of data in deisred location( e.g. the third one), I would love to learn. Thanks!
