Is the session ID in the Request header or the Response header?
You can try adding more of the surrounding context to minimise matching
content that is not the target value. eg. "p=2000:24\:([^:]+)", assuming
the "2000:24" prefix is constant.
To use the captured value, you would insert a variable reference in the
desired location, "${sess}" in this case.
JMeter will expand this reference with the value contained in the variable.
