How to extract the inner text of a script tag using JMeter CSS Selector?

Question

I simply added a class ".script_class" to my script tag to find it.

Then my JMeter settings are:

Name of created variable: content
CSS Selector expression: .script_class
Default Value: Not_Found

While other tags like <b> save their inner text in the content variable, it stays empty for the script tag. It doesn't show the default value, so it did get found by my expression.

Is there a way to save the inner text of my script tag into the content variable and then extract it for further use?

I don't think it's possible to do with CSS Selector Extractor, consider switching to XPath Extractor which has text() function:

Sadly I can't use XPath Extractor because of random weird end tags in the html. They don't seem to complicate things and it is not my file, so I can't change it. But XPath Extractor doesn't accept it.

Tick Use Tidy box, it should help. If it doesn't - you will have to go for either Regular Expression Extractor or Boundary Extractor. Going forward if you add the code with the value you want to extract it will help a lot.
