How to insert double quotes into String with interpolation in scala

scala, string

Solution

This is a bug in Scala:

escape does not work with string interpolation

but maybe you can use:

scala> import org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava
import org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava

scala> escapeJava("this is a string\nover two lines")
res1: java.lang.String = this is a string\nover two lines

Problem

Having trouble escaping all the quotes in my function (basic usage of it -> if i find a string do nothing, if its not a string add " in the begin and end) code snippet : ``` def putTheDoubleQuotes(value: Any): Any = { value match { case s: String => s //do something ... case _ => s"\"$value\"" //not working } } ``` only thing that worked was : case _ => s"""\"$value\"""" is there a better syntax for this ? it looks terrible and the IDE (IntelliJ) marks it in red (but lets you run it which really pisses me!!!!!)
