Solved Special symbol $

Hello, I need your help with the '$' symbol, always throws an error in commands and chat (if chat is modified by event.setFormat) I've tried: string = string.replaceAll ("\\$", "\\\\\\$"); but then I had it in TabList \$ and in the commands as well.

 

In replace colors in string ->
public static String color(String string) {
string= string.replaceAll("\\$","\\\\\\$");
return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', string);
}}

 

Double backslash results in the second backslash being escaped, and the $ remaining as is.

$ is an error in Java. \$ is a dollar sign. \\$ is a backslash and an error.

Use a single backslash.

 

Error -> Invalid escape secquence in string.replaceAll("\\$","\$"<--- here );

and error.. error is in chat, commands..

@Straiker123 Like i said...

Using a double backslash in a string will cause that error. Use a single backslash everywhere. You can not once use "\\$". It will error.

Or you can do this:

PHP:

StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava("the string you want to escape. \\$")

That way you don't need to escape at all. Just use escapeJava whenever you handle input.

 

Error in console if player send to chat '$', and colors not working -> \u00A74ServerControl \u00A7e>>> \u00A7rStraike

Code:

public static String chat(String string) {
    string= StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava(string);
    return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', string);
}}

Edit: Fixed, i replace '.replaceAll("%message%, msg) with .replace("%message%", msg)', thank you for your time and help
