Not directly.
Text can be extracted from an HTML page using XPath or RE, and the
result can be used in a sampler.

The function jsfcljs() presumably does the work.

I cannot follow the above table - it's not clear what the values are.
I suggest you re-record the sample, and compare the parameters.
If any parameters or values vary between the tests, then those
variable parts will need to be replaced by JMeter variables - which
can be set up using XPath or RE Post-Processors applied to the
previous result.
