I have a string template that will be read in from a file, so I can’t do regular $-interpolation on it. For example, the template might be “20+%1+5”, and I will want to substitute a value at run-time for “%1". Should I just use String.replace() or String.format(), or is there a more elegant solution in Kotlin than there would be in Java?

I'm not aware of a kotlin specific solution

@pniederw Thanks! That’s a lot better than not getting an answer.

Do the simplest thing that can work until you need something more complex
