Solved ChatEvent Message Replacement

I'm trying to make a simple plugin where if you have the permission, you can use chat color with the '&' symbol. No errors, just doesn't work.
Example code (Just copied for different colors):

Code:

        String m = e.getMessage();

        if(m.contains("&7"))
            if(p.hasPermission("colormychat.gray"))
                m.replace("&6", "§7");
        e.setMessage(m);

 

replace returns a new string, do m = m.replace("&6", "&7")

This should not work. As @mcdorli said, you have to have m = at the beginning of the statement, because it returns a string; Its not a void.

But also, you switched the Strings. The parameter on the left is the thing you want to replace. The one on the right is the String you want to replace it with.

 

Thank you it works well.
