I have scenario in gatling where i need to extract particular JSON value. For eg: I want to extract author of book title “Sayings of the Century”. I am using following `Jsonpath $..book[?(@.title eq 'Sayings of the Century')]`. But its not returning me anything. Can you tell me how to achieve this.

{ “store”: {  
“book”: [  
{ “category”: “reference”,  
“author”: “Nigel Rees”,  
“title”: “Sayings of the Century”,  
“price”: 8.95  
},  
{ “category”: “fiction”,  
“author”: “Evelyn Waugh”,  
“title”: “Sword of Honour”,  
“price”: 12.99  
},  
{ “category”: “fiction”,  
“author”: “Herman Melville”,  
“title”: “Moby Dick”,  
“isbn”: “0-553-21311-3”,  
“price”: 8.99  
},  
{ “category”: “fiction”,  
“author”: “J. R. R. Tolkien”,  
“title”: “The Lord of the Rings”,  
“isbn”: “0-395-19395-8”,  
“price”: 22.99  
}  
],  
“bicycle”: {  
“color”: “red”,  
“price”: 19.95  
}  
}  
}

The correct syntax is ==, not eq.
