Regular Expression Extractor not identifying the match

[Senthil Subbiah <ss...@ketera.com>]

I have added a Regular Expression Extractor after a sampler

The sampler has a form value
Value="g00001"
And I want to match this value to send as a part of the next request. 

And in the Regular Expression Extractor, I have added the following

Name : Regular Expression Extractor
Reference Name : _mid
Regular Expression : [a-z]00*[0-9]
Template : $1$
Match No. : 0
Default value : 

In the next request, I have given 
Mid=${_mid}

But when I run the script, the mid param value is not sent.

Is this correct?
I am not sure with the usage of Regular Expression Extractor.
But when I try to search the text with the regular expression....i am
able to find the match.
So please suggest me how to use regular expression extractor.

You need to tell the matcher what portion of the regular expression to
return; this is done by adding parentheses around it.

In your case, you presumably want it all, so put:

Regular Expression : ([a-z]00*[0-9])

If you just wanted the numbers, put:

Regular Expression : [a-z](00*[0-9])

and if you want to avoid matching elsewhere in the page, try:

Regular Expression : Value="([a-z]00*[0-9])"
