    Both of your regular expressions matches intended string, however, you might be experiencing failure.

    It is because:

    1. that is only matching partial string, but not entire response
    2. if you are providing value in the content, special characters needs to be escaped

    Below regex should work i.e., match anything before and after original regex(which you mentioned)

     

    ([\\s\\S]+)(BOPS\\d{9}CDIS-\\d{1,3})([\\s\\S]+)

    You may also use Property Expansion, then no need to escape.

     

    Define Test Case level custom property, say REGEX_CONTENT with value

    ([\s\S]+)(BOPS\d{9}CDIS-\d{1,3})([\s\S]+)

     

    Use ${#TestCase#REGEX_CONTENT} as content in Contains Assertion.

Ryan,

 

Try this REGEX pattern (just one among possible solutions),

 

(BOPS)(\d{9})(CDIS)-(\d{1})

Since you want to learn about REGEX pattern matching, here are few links for guidance,

Thanks,
