substituting xml values programmatically with scala

Question

I\'m writing a tool to update some xml files (pom.xml in this case) with scala because the effort it would take in java is significantly higher than (in theory) it is with s

Answer 1

Text is represented as a Node inside of the Elements Node. So a bit of functional recursion will let you do a deep copy & filter:

def deepCopy(node:Node) : Node = node match {
  case e : Elem => e.copy(child = this.child.toSeq.map(deepCopy))
  case t : Text => new Text(t.text.split("-").head)
  case x => x
}
