If you really want to use regular expressions for this, here you go:

input type="hidden" name="paymentId" value="(\d+)"

Demo (assumes RegExp Tester more of the View Results Tree listener):

However be informed that using regular expressions for parsing HTML is not the best idea as regular expressions are very sensitive to markup changes and extra space or line break will ruin your regex.

Consider going for CSS Selector Extractor instead, it allows using CSS Selectors for querying the document which is way more readable, robust and reliable

I would suggest using the CSS JQuery Extractor:

On CSS/JQuery Expression you locate HTML node and on Attribute you will extract the value of a given attribute (name in your case).

  • It is a post-processor, meaning that the flow of execution will be directed to the following ThreadGroup (TG). If you want, e.g., make a GET to the payments service, you will have the value of payment id to be used. On the following user, the two (TG) will be run in this order as well. User 1: TG1 -> Post-Processor -> TG2 User 2: TG1 -> Post-Processor -> TG2 Never intertwined. You can have more info here: guru99.com/processor-in-jmeter.html
