Or use the exisiting RE to extract the information, and BeanShell to process it.

The RE is designed to put the results in variables; it is not designed
as a utility module so it would probably not offer any benefit to call
it from BeanShell.

You can use Java RE or Jakarta ORO directly from BeanShell, but I
suspect you would be better off using the JMeter RE Post-Processor in
conjunction with BeanShell.

Assertions are applied to all samples in their scope. The scope of a
child element is its (sole) parent.
