Check out bodyString -

`  
.exec(  
http( description )  
.get( url )  
.check( bodyString.saveAs( “contents” ) )  
)  
.exec( session =\> {  
println( “The request returned:\n” )  
println( session( “contents” ).as[String] )  
session  
})

`

By the way, have you explored the quick reference? [http://gatling.io/docs/2.0.3/cheat-sheet.html](http://gatling.io/docs/2.0.3/cheat-sheet.html)
