Duh! Sorry, forgot that the last assertion would still be in scope for
the while loop sampler. I don't think it's possible to use an
Assertion directly for this.
Try adding another RE in the loop which extracts the desired text; use
a default value which is different from that.
The variable will then contain the default on exit from the while loop
if the RE failed.
To check for this, you could use either:
* a Java Sampler with ${variable} in SampleResult + child Assertion
* If Controller "${variable}" != "default" + child Test Action
