Hello, Thanks for your advice.
I did applied case insensitive check: like this: (?is)<tr\sclass="tgDataLine.*1\)\" >([^tr].*)</tr> However I still face problem. Now I capture all <tr> elements in a same group instead of each <tr> element. I read in my jmeter.log these informations about matching: 2009/11/19 17:03:33 DEBUG - jmeter.extractor.RegexExtractor: Regex = (?is)<tr\sclass="tgDataLine.*1\)\" >([^tr].*)</tr> 2009/11/19 17:03:33 DEBUG - jmeter.extractor.RegexExtractor: RegexExtractor: Match found! 2009/11/19 17:03:33 DEBUG - jmeter.extractor.RegexExtractor: RegexExtractor: Template piece #0 = 1 2009/11/19 17:03:33 DEBUG - jmeter.extractor.RegexExtractor: RegexExtractor: Template piece #1 = 2009/11/19 17:03:33 DEBUG - jmeter.extractor.RegexExtractor: Regex Extractor result = <TD>....<TD> <TR>...</TR> ... <TR>....</TR> <TD> As for alternatives, I did want to parse a HTML with org.w3c.dom api, but dom methods like getElementsByTagName() are all case sensitive and may not be able to parse an HTML with both uppercase and lowercase tags. Besides, whenever the HTML page changes, I will have to rewrite my Java code based on dom api. So in order to minimize these unwanted effects on my Java code, I would still like to use regex, so that, whenever HTML structure changes, I need only change the regex in JMeter but not my java code that cosumes the extracted HTML portions.
