Can you share your actual SEND and RECEIVE strings (sanitized as needed). I'm trying to accomplish the same thing in that I'm looking for "ok" in the RECEIVE string text. I'm not interested in what's in the header. My application owner intends to run his own downstream tests and provide me with either ok or notok. I only care to match on the text ok. I can't get anything to work. I've tried every combination of regular expression matching for ASCII and HEX, quotes, no quotes, \r\n, no \r\n....can't get anything to work. If I use Fiddler I see the raw response is ok.

You should look for the string that is unique and different when the 'good' and 'bad' response is received. Note if your server returns ok or notok and you will set receive string to ok, you will have a match in both cases as the 'ok' string is present in both responses - so the member will stay UP even when it returns notok.
