scala external command with parameter

Question

I am new to scala and this question is simple parameter passing to another command.

val p = "/usr/tmp"

val status = Seq("/bin/sh", "-c", "rm -f $p/*.txt").!

the $p value seems to be not passing correctly, can some one please help me understand on how to pass val p as a param to next val command.

Your string needs to start with 's' to use string interpolation

val status = Seq("/bin/sh", "-c", s"rm -f $p/*.txt").!
