There are several options:

  1. Using Regular Expression Extractor like:

    • Reference Name: any variable name, i.e. OTP
    • Regular Expression: <input type="hidden" name="OTPHidden" value="(.+?)">
    • Template: $1$

  2. Using XPath Extractor like:

    • Use Tidy - check. It might not be required if your response is XML/XHTML-compliant
    • Reference Name: OTP
    • XPath query: //input[@name='OTPHidden']/@value

  3. Using CSS/JQuery Extractor like:

    • Reference Name: OTP
    • CSS/JQuery Expression: input[name=OTPHidden]
    • Attribute: value

In all cases refer the extracted value as ${OTP} in the next request.

In regards to which option to choose:

  • If your markup doesn't change frequently and the input always comes in one line - go for Regular Expressions
  • If your page has complex DOM and not very complex styles - go for CSS/JQuery
  • If there are many styles but DOM is relatively simple - use XPath
