Get material with half the name?

I am creating a Shop plugin and with colors the whole name of the item cant fit on the sign.

So &b&lYellow_Flower Doesn't fit

How can I get the material with YELLOW_FLOW, anyway to basically auto-complete it?

 

loop through all materials:

Code:Java

 
public Material getMaterial(String name){
Material theMaterial = null;
for(Material material : Material.values()) {
 
}
return theMaterial;
}

get the material name and check if it starts with the String of the sign:

Code:Java

if(material.name().toLowerCase().startsWith(name.toLowerCase())) {
theMaterial = material;
}

inside the for loop


That should work

 

You da real MVP, Thanks!

 

and to remove the color codes:

Code:java

ChatColor.stripColor(string);
