Regular Expression for ViewState
Hi,
Can anybody please help me generate a regular expression for a ViewState
value which is dynamically generated.
An example of viewstate value is as follows:
rO0ABXVyABNbTGphdmEubGFuZy5PYmplY3Q7kM5YnxBzKWwCAAB4cAAAAAN0AAVfaWQ0NXB0ABsvcGFnZXMvcHJvdGVjdGVkL21haW4ueGh0bWw=
Please help. Thanks in advance.

So try a Regex like:
<input\s+type="hidden"\s+name="javax.faces.ViewState"\s+id="javax.faces.ViewState"\s+value="([^"]+)"
Then set your template to $1$

More information is needed, otherwise the RE may match other items.
For example:
.+
would match, but it will match almost anything.
\w+=
would work, but again it may match too much.
Is the value always the same length? Or does it vary, if so what are
the upper and lower bounds.?
Is it always alphanumeric, or can it contain other characters?
Is the "=" part of the value?
What is the context in which it appears, i.e. what immediately
surrounds the value?
Can the surrounding text appear anywhere else, or is it unique?
