An extractor object that yields the groups in the match.
An extractor object that yields the groups in the match. Using this extractor rather than the original Regex ensures that the match is not recomputed.
import scala.util.matching.Regex.Groups
val date = """(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)""".r
val text = "The doc spree happened on 2011-07-15."
val day = date replaceAllIn(text, _ match { case Groups(_, month, day) => s"$month/$day" })

Quotes strings to be used literally in regex patterns.
Quotes strings to be used literally in regex patterns.

Quotes replacement strings to be used in replacement methods.
Quotes replacement strings to be used in replacement methods.
Replacement methods give special meaning to backslashes (\) and dollar signs ($) in replacement strings, so they are not treated as literals. This method escapes these characters so the resulting string can be used as a literal replacement representing the input string.
Value parameters
text
The string one wishes to use as literal replacement.
Attributes
Returns
A string that can be used to replace matches with text.
Example
"CURRENCY".r.replaceAllIn(input, Regex quoteReplacement "US$")
