Coefficient2

Coefficient2[exp, form1, form2, ...] is like Coefficient, but it also allows to extracts coefficients of form1, form2, ... sequentially. To specify the power in formi, write it as {var,pow}.

To keep the prefactor whose coefficient you extracted you need to set the option Prefactor to True.
