There's probably a better way so others feel free to jump in but I'll
answer the reg exp point you pointed out as strange because I came
across the same thing and thought it was a bit of a trap for young
players. The docs only just got me over the line in that case so I hope
this is helpful to others using regular expressions in Jmeter where they
want to match over multiple lines.
By default /n or newline is not included in the dot . special character
for regular expressions. This means by default all regular expressions
are not multi line expressions.
Adding (?s) to the start of your expression will make it a multi line
expressions.
From your example data, if I wanted everything between the results tags
I would have the following expression
(?s)<results status="ok">(.*)</results>
That expression will return what is contained in the tags and overcome
new lines. You want the outer tags as well & there will also be a
variable to use which includes the outer results tags which are part of
the matching expression. It will be something like ${xml_0} or
${xml_g1} or something like that assuming the output is assigned to a
variable called ${xml}. You can look at the reg exp documentation OR I
find it easier to add a debug sampler after the reg expression and
discover the variable name by looking at the output of it in view
results tree.

I need this entire response stored in a variable as a string, so that
I can pass it into another HTTP Request.
I tried creating an XPath Extractor with the XPath "/results". But it
sets the variable to the empty string.
I also tried using a regular expression extractor with the regular
expression "(.*)" and the template $1$. It set the variable to
"<session_key>K6e0L97HNekLTwv3AaRH</session_key>". That seems really
strange to me.
Is there anyway to get the entire response of an HTTP Request in a
variable so that I can use it later?
