I would like to filter my data set on two conditions at once.
Is it possible?
I want something like this:
mystuff = mystuff.filter(_.isX && _.name == "xyz")
I would like to filter my data set on two conditions at once.

I want something like this:
mystuff = mystuff.filter(_.isX && _.name == "xyz")
Using slightly less concise lambda syntax:
mystuff = mystuff.filter(x => (x.isX && x.name == "xyz"))
You can find more detail on Scala anonymous function syntax here.
While there might be some performance impact depending on what "myStuff" is, you could always filter twice
mystuff = mystuff.filter(_.isX).filter(_.name == "xyz")
If you need to frequently filter with several predicate, you could define a way of combining them:
case class And[A]( p1: A=>Boolean, p2: A=>Boolean ) extends (A=>Boolean) {
def apply( a: A ) = p1(a) && p2(a)
}
Here is how to use it to keep only the odd numbers bigger than 10:
scala> (0 until 20) filter And( _ > 10, _ % 2 == 1 )
res3: scala.collection.immutable.IndexedSeq[Int] = Vector(11, 13, 15, 17, 19)
It easy to write Or
and Not
combinators in the same fashion.
