Why not use the following XPath extractor instead:

That's a good news... I was wondering why should we use regular expressions
for extracting data from an XML document... of course as far as it's XML
(XHTML), but anyway in this case it's proper XML.
I guess xpath is not an option if the page is html (so not XML but SGML) or
the document is not well-formed XML.
I don't think it's possible to do it with a single RE.
However, one can use the RE extractor to extract the specific set of
options into a variable, and then use the __regexFunction() to split
the variable. But XPath is simpler.
It might be useful to enhance the RE extractor to operate on a subset
of the body...
Jepp, XPath may work, but I am still interested in a template for
looping thought the results of __regexFunction() as a second level
looping because HTML codes are often not balanced, especially in tables.
