How to extract viewstate and eventvalidation using regular expression parsing partial renders with JMeter ASP.net

Question

In my case, I am able to extract viewstate and eventvalidation from response, when the response is like:

<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="UGflz/O67VPwTmNdi......"

by giving expression as:

name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="(.+?)"

but what is the expression i need to use, when the response is like:

 |hiddenfield|__viewstate|koflrijcjafaygr......|

How can I extract this type of response.

Answer 1

use "\" to escape | as

for example to extract viewstate value from

|hiddenfield|__viewstate|koflrijcjafaygr......|

You can use this regular expression __viewstate\|(.+?)\|
