Anyone knows how can I fill the placeholder total with the value for this string: "%{total} price for the Pizza"

val total =123
val message = "% $total price for the Pizza"
print(message)

[Ali]

I didn't get you can you share the kotlin code?

Or in case you can't modify the string to change it from using % to instead using valid Kotlin string interpolation you might have to settle for something like `.replace(..., ...)`:

ahh that's a bit hacky to use replace for this. I thought there is something simple already in kotlin for filling this %{} inside string

[Ali]

@Umar Ata my string is different than you. I already know your case

[Umar Ata]

Can write the expected output

[Ali]

val total = 5
"5 price for the Pizza"

[Umar Ata]

The string you have "%{total} price for the Pizza"
