Hi,

I have header response as  
Set-Cookie: APT\_SESSIONID=ZhROCfuCLPecWZHfZXG5GzjDu27CQ0rz\_EncOcqJ.app\_axa; path=/

I need to extract the value “ZhROCfuCLPecWZHfZXG5GzjDu27CQ0rz\_EncOcqJ.app\_axa”.

I tried to use headerRegex as mentioned below. But it is not working for me. Please help.

```auto
 headerRegex("Set-Cookie",""""APT_SESSIONID=(.*?); path=/""").ofType[(String, String)].saveAs("capt_sessionid")

```

```auto

headerRegex("Set-Cookie","""APT_SESSIONID=(.*); path=/""").ofType[(String)].saveAs("capt_sessionid"))

```

```auto

headerRegex("Set-Cookie","capt_sessionid=${APT_SESSIONID}.*"))

```

```auto

```

```auto

```

```auto

```

```auto
Thanks,

```

```auto

Please ignore the line as not correct.

```auto
 headerRegex("Set-Cookie",""""APT_SESSIONID=(.*?); path=/""").ofType[(String, String)].saveAs("capt_sessionid")

```

```auto

```
