Solved Sign#getLine returns with formatting/color

Is there a way to get the content of a sign without the actual color? Somehow getLine(#) returns the actual format on the sign (including color formatting).

Example:

------------------------------ (sign)
AwesomeGameName (first line)
TheArena (second line)

-------------------------------

'TheArena' is an existing String inside my config file.
So I check

Code:java

String arenaName = s.getLine(1);

However, when I try to search for 'arenaName' in the config it returns null, because there are formatting options inside arenaName.
I need to get the blank text from arenaName, which is 'TheArena' (as written on the sign). Not with the blue color, so I can look for it in the config.

I don't believe there's a built-in way to do this.

What is the output of Sign#getLine with the formatting? We could probably create a method of getting just the text.

Does not work
I used

Code:java

ChatColor.stripColor(e.getLine(1));

.

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e){
        Player p =e.getPlayer();
 
        if(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){
            Material block = e.getClickedBlock().getType();
            if(block == Material.SIGN || block==Material.WALL_SIGN || block==Material.SIGN_POST){
                Sign s = (Sign) e.getClickedBlock().getState();
                if(s.getLine(0).equals(DARK_GRAY+""+BOLD+"StrikerZ") && !(s.getLine(1).equals(""))){
                    String arenaName = ChatColor.stripColor(s.getLine(1));
                    m.ingame.addToGame(arenaName, p);
                    p.teleport(m.spawnloc.getLobbySpawn(arenaName));
                }
            }
        }
    }

SignChange

Code:java

e.setLine(0, DARK_GRAY+""+BOLD+"StrikerZ");
            e.setLine(1, DARK_BLUE+e.getLine(1));
            e.setLine(2, BLACK+""+BOLD + ArenaTime.getStatus(e.getLine(1)));

 

Dubehh
Take a gander at my post?

 

Dubehh What does not work about it?

 

Dubehh well, then, what is the output of stripcolor?
Also, why wouldn't getLine return color codes? Its part of the string after all.

Excuse me sirs
I went full retard and use the wrong string inside the config.
ChatColor.stripColor did the job like it was supposed to.
Solved

 

Don't forget to mark this as solved.
