Scala string interpolation from collections - n number of variables












0















I want to interpolate a string pattern from a scala collection (Map, Seq, Hashtable) and populate a path to file.



${directory}/data/${fileName}


My collection is a Map[String,String] which holds directory and file values



args.directory and args.fileName



input from config file
path_to_file: ${directory}/data/${fileName}



input from command args:
directory=/temp,fileName=data.json



output:
path_to_file = /temp/data/data.json



any suggestions?

  • use it like this s"${directory}/data/${fileName}" it should work

  • my interpolated (to be) values come as a Map Collection and for the interpolation pattern that you have offered you need declared vars in the scope of the s (sugar function)

As you have described that you have Map[String,String]



val args:Map[String, String] = ("dir1" -> "file1","dir2"-> "file2")

val result = args.map{ keyValue =>
s"${keyValue._1}/data/${keyValue._2}"


}



and result will have all the paths.



as Dima suggested if you have something like



Map("directory"->"temp", "fileName"->"data.json")


then you can do it like this:



val path = s"${args("directory")}/data/${args("fileName")}"

  • You don't need mutable collections for doing stuff like this. args.map { case (k,v) => s"$k/data/$v" } will do.

  • I am considering map has more than one value @Dima that's why i am using mutable.ListBuffer yes if it has only 2 keys we don't need it I agree. But it doesn't looks like he has only two keys!

  • what if there is more keys? will it work for them too? i don't think so @Dima we will have to iterate over then in that condition and then will save paths for each key value. Suppose it has 2 values for directory -> List("temp", "temp1") so your code snippet will print "/List(temp, temp1)/data/data.json".
