Basically, how do I save the ConversionRateResult in a local variable in Gatling using regex?

`

\<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=“[http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/](http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/)” xmlns:xsi=“[http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance)” xmlns:xsd=“[http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)”\>  
soap:Body  
  
0.1492  
  
\</soap:Body\>  
\</soap:Envelope\>

`

To accomplish the same With JSON I would say something like:

`.check(jsonPath("$.profile.memberships[0].scanNumber").saveAs("scanNr")))`

If I where to look for a “scannumber” in the JSON body.

But how to do it with soap response?

JsonPath is for JSON, not XML.

You might want to have a look at XPath.
