Hell, I am new to play framework and Scala. I don't know how to display special characters like @, -, "" as text. Help!

  • In what situation are you displaying these characters? – APerson Sep 29 '14 at 01:56
  • For example, when I want to display email address such as example@gmail.com, Scala assumes that @gmail.com is a variable. – Lucy_learning Sep 29 '14 at 02:48

    Not only is this one of the first things to come up in a search on StackOverflow, but it's also clearly stated in the docs: https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.3.x/ScalaTemplates – Michael Zajac Sep 29 '14 at 03:01

If I got your question right, you are asking how to escape special characters in scala. It's pretty much same as other languages. using escape character \

val str = " \\\" "     //output str: \"

or follow the below special syntax to store in string value with exactly what is inside the triple quotes.

val str = """ \" """   //output str: \"
