You could use a javascript or beanshell function to replace the &
with & in the output variable - assuming you want to replace them all.
You might be able to do this in the RegexExtractor itself, by wrapping
the $1$ in a function call.
Or you can do the same on the sampler.
Or you could be really sneaky and use the BeanShell Assertion to
change the value of the variable. This relies on the fact that
Assertions are called after the Post-Processors, so the output
variable from the Reg Ext will be available for use.
