URL parameter extraction

Hi all,

as Philippe is adding a few new functions to jmeter, I wondered whether we should add a function to extract parameter values from URLs.

Something along the lines

__extractParamValueFromUrl(${url}, paramName)

It could take a third parameter indicating which value to return, when the paramName is used multiple times in the URL path.

What do you think?
Felix

To help those, who have to extract a token from an url that was extracted from a HTML document. This is needed often, when trying to follow a sso page flow. 

If you search for jmeter url parameter extraction on the web, you will get many solutions based on regexes. But that seems a bit too complicated for most users.
