Capturing from URL-encoded body

[raine]

Given this hurl file

POST https://github.com/login/device/code
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
```
client_id=Iv1.1bbd5e03617adebb&scope=repo+read%3Aorg
```

that returns

device_code=123&expires_in=899&interval=5&user_code=CC3B-9D56&verification_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Flogin%2Fdevice%

How would I parse for example the value for device_code?

Is using regex like so the only way?

[Captures]
device_code: regex "device_code=(.*?)&"

It seems like a not that uncommon use-case so I'd imagine there would be capturing mechanism for URL-encoded responses.

Thanks.

edit: I learned that Github can also return the response in JSON if Accept: application/json is given as header, so that helps.

Hi @raine indeed in your case the best way to extract a parameter is with a regex. There are also filters to refine captures (like split, urlDecode etc...) but in this case regex is the way to go.
