Whats a scala-like way to alter first and last in a List -

i have list[string] com.github.seratch.scalikesolr populating little inconveniantly... if list has 1 element, looks this:

[value]

(it has prepended , appended brackets).

if list has more 1 element, elements like:

[value1 value2]

struggling find clean looking scala-ish code remove brackets if present. suggest. in advance.

p.s. have several lists apply "filter" to... reusable code better approach.

def debracketize(list: list[string]): list[string] = list.map(_.stripprefix("[").stripsuffix("]"))

example usage:

println(debracketize(list("[value1", "value2]"))) println(debracketize(list("[value1]")))

outputs:

list(value1, value2) list(value1)
