Regular Expression Extractor in Html

Hi.

I'm having some trouble with the regular expression extractor.  I can't
seem to get the right Jmeter regex to work, though other regex's do.  I
feel like the line breaks in the response might be messing me up .. 

I'm trying to extract the user name from the response with an assertion.
I have this expression in my extractor.  It is set to look at the
response text and the boolean is 'Contains'.  My template is set to $1
$: 

The current user is:\r+(.*)

<font color="red">The current user is:
LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME INITIAL

</font>

Shouldn't this work ?  I never seem to find anything.

Thanks !
--sidd

\r only matches CR; you also need to match \n (LF)

Try

The current user is:[\r\n]+(.*)

You can test using
