I think that will capture too much as "." also matches any ">" it finds.
Also, there is an extraneous ">" in the RE.

Should probably be

Regular Expression :<input type=hidden name=userSession value=(.*?)>

The ? makes it stop at the first match (non-greedy).

It would be a bit quicker to put:

Regular Expression :<input type=hidden name=userSession value=([^>]+)

which will match all characters that are not ">" - this is an easier
search to perform.

If the value can be on a separate line, then you will need to use:

Regular Expression :<input type=hidden name=userSession\s+value=([^>]+)

Attributes are normally enclosed in quotes, in which case the RE need adjusting:

Regular Expression :<input type="hidden" name="userSession"\s+value="[^"]+

Add a Default value so you can tell whether or not the RE was applied
successfully.
[And check the log just in case of syntax errors as these will not be
reported to the GUI]
