I am looking for a string format solution in Scala. I have the below string:
str = {"card_id" : %s,"cust_id": %s,"card_info": {"card_type" : "%s","credit_limit": %s},"card_dates" : [{"date":"%s" },{"date":"%s" }]}
And here I want to replace "%S" with string value. Is there any function in Scala so that I can apply that function and get the proper result?
I have tried string.format("%s", str, arrayofvalue) but it's not giving the proper result.
You could simply use:
val str = """{"card_id" : %s,"cust_id": %s,"card_info": {"card_type" : "%s","credit_limit": %s},"card_dates" : [{"date":"%s" },{"date":"%s" }]}"""
str.format(arrayofvalue:_*)
Note that I have use """ for using double quote in str as literal.
In scala you can do this
val i = 123
val s = " a string"
val str = s"Here's$s $i" // result: Here's a string 123
Scala provides several ways of string interpolation.
s"$var text ${var.func}"
see http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/string-interpolation.html
Scala also supports the .formatmethod on strings
scala> "%s - %d".format("test", 9)
res5: String = test - 9

As you are creating JSON here you should use on of the many JSON libraries like
This will give you much more safety for this task than string interpolation.
