Hi

I’m having trouble to implement xpath to store the response data.

Response Body:

**some value**  
389259413609672301  
BDD Tester

Code:

```auto
.exec(http("ABC")
  .put("")
  .body(ElFileBody("src/test/scala/mdm/scripts/ABC/Body.xml"))
    .check(xpath("/*/PartyId/").saveAs("PartyId"))
))

```

```auto

```

```auto
When trying this I'm getting type mismatch error. Is this the right way to implement xpath? I'm new to gatling and couldn't find much info on xpath online.

```

```auto
Thanks in advance 

```

Well, there are tons of XPath tutorials out there, not specific to Gatling.  
Just make sure to declare any extra namespace?
