How to write Jmeter Regex into a file after extraction

In my Jmeter test, I am able to use REGEX Extraction, After extraction I want to write the value of the REGEX variable into a file

I found a workaround as using beanshell as mentioned here https://stackoverflow.com/a/15159521/4556894

Is there any clean way of doing it, May be some inbuilt features, which I am not aware of

It is possible to write variable values into JMeter .jtl results file. There is a JMeter Property called sample_variables

Optional list of JMeter variable names whose values are to be saved in the result data files.

Use commas to separate the names.For example:

sample_variables=SESSION_ID,REFERENCE

So if you run JMeter in command-line non-GUI mode as follows:

jmeter -Jsample_variables=myVariable -n -t /path/to/your/testplan.jmx -l /path/to/testresults.jtl

You'll get the output like

timeStamp,elapsed,label,responseCode,responseMessage,threadName,dataType,success,bytes,grpThreads,allThreads,Latency,"myVariable"

1425978657207,368,HTTP Request,200,OK,Thread Group 1-1,text,true,1591,1,1,367,YOUR_VARIABLE_VALUE

In above example column names are given for reference, they are not included into csv results file by default. This behavior is controllable via jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names property, set it to "true" to get column names printed along with results data.

You can also set sample_variables property value in user.properties file which lives under /bin folder of your JMeter installation or uncomment it in jmeter.properties file (same location)

For more information on JMeter properties and ways of setting and/or overriding them refer to Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide
