Format a message using MessageFormat.format() in Java

Question

I have stored some messages in a resource bundle. I\'m trying to format these messages as follows.

import java.text.MessageFormat;

String text = MessageForm         


        

Answer 1

Here is a method that does not require editing the code and works regardless of the number of characters.

String text = 
  java.text.MessageFormat.format(
    "You're about to delete {0} rows.".replaceAll("'", "''"), 5);
