I am using a velocity template for a FIX message containing ; as the delimiter in the template file. I want to replace the ; with \u000 character as delimiter when actualy publishing the message. When I try msg.replaceAll(";", "\u000") , compiler complains "error in unicode escape"? What is the right way to do this in Scala?

  • `"foo;bar".replaceAll(";", """\\u000""")` => `foo\u000bar` is this what you wanted? – om-nom-nom Oct 09 '13 at 12:46
  • An extra 0 also seems to quieten the compiler complaint without the extra backslash - `"foo;bar".replaceAll(";", """\u0000""")` . I wonder which out of these would be correct for this message to be consumed correctly by downstream FIX clients? – 212 Oct 09 '13 at 12:55

(edit)Escape backslash or use triplequotes like om-nom-nom advised:

msg.replaceAll(";", "\\\\u000")

or 

msg.replaceAll(";", """\\u000""")
