400 : Invalid value 'ga:pagePath=' for filters parameter

Using the google analytics query explorer, I would like to limit the output of the following data:

Example data

ga:pagePath
/100464.html
/108659.html?promid=1552

Aim
only get the numbers from pagepath, so:

ga:pagePath
100464
108659

Tried
The following filter fails:

ga:pagePath=/....

With following error message:

400 : Invalid value 'ga:pagePath=/....' for filters parameter.

Solution
Thanks to Eike Pierstorff -> this is not filtering. This is programming logic. E.g. a filter is used to narrow down the data but NOT control/ change how the output is returned.

To only get the numbers, use a regex in your programming code. An example on how to do so is given here.

its == not =

Filter documentation link

== (Equals) %3D%3D Return results where the time on the page is exactly ten seconds: filters=ga:timeOnPage%3D%3D10

so try

ga:pagePath==/
ga:pagePath==/?attachment_id=106

for fun: returns everything with a ? 

ga:pagePath=@?
