title: scala, get values from Some(value)
body: <p>i am currently trying to read myself into scala. But i got stuck on the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>val value: String = properties(j).attribute("value").toString
  print(value)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The xml property is read and converted to a string, but gets viewed as "Some(value)". I have tried several things but none seems to work when not i myself created the value with "Option: String"(which was the common solution). Does somebody know an easy way to get rid of the "Some("?</p>
  
  <p>Greetings
