Format string in groovy

Question

I would like to substitute %s with the value

<server>
    <id>artifactory</id>
    <username>%s</username>
    <password>%s</password>
</server>

Is there any myString.format("name", "pass") method in groovy?

Answer 1

groovy based on java and in java there is a format method in String class

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#format(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.Object...)

so this should work

def s='''<server>
    <id>artifactory</id>
    <username>%s</username>
    <password>%s</password>
</server>'''
println String.format(s, "name", "pass")
