Solved [HARD] Splitting on \n

I was trying to split my message on a "\n" but failed. I spent 2 hours of searching, tried much and nothing worked.
Code of three of my tries:

Code:java

String message = "Test\nAnother test\nAnother another test";
log(message.split("\n").length + ", " + message.split("\\n").length + ", " + message.split(System.getProperty("line.separator")).length);

Returning: 1, 1, 1 while it needs to return 3, Any Ideas?

 

Try echoing the msg 3 times

 

Code:java

System.out.println("test\ntest\ntest\ntest".split("\n").length);

Output:

Code:

4

Your machine must be doing something weird.

fireblast709 I think so.

I tried it again.
The post above was an example. I thougt I was just doing something wrong.
Looking at this I think it is something with my Config getter r.mes or something with ChatColors.
Result:

Code:java

String message = r.mes("List.List").replaceAll("%Online", i + "").replaceAll("%Max", Bukkit.getMaxPlayers() + "").replaceAll("%List", online.toString());
log(message);
log(message.split("\n").length + "");

Returning:
There are 0/20 players online: \nDefault: (In Colors)
1

Code:java

String anothertest = "There are 0/20 players online: \nDefault:";
r.log(anothertest.split("\n").length + "");

Returning:
2

Config getter:
Config:

Code:java

List:
  List: '@1There are @2%Online@1/@2%Max @1players online: \n@2%List'

Getter:

Code:java

    public static String mes(String padMessage){
            YamlConfiguration lang = null;
            if(UltimateFileLoader.LANGf == null){
                return null;
            }
            lang = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(UltimateFileLoader.LANGf);
            if(lang.get(padMessage) == null){
                return null;
            }
 
            if(lang.get(padMessage) != null){
                String try1 = default1 + ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', lang.getString(padMessage).replaceAll("@1", default1 + "").replaceAll("@2", default2 + ""));
                return try1;
            }
            lang = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "Messages/EN.yml"));
            if(lang.get(padMessage) != null){
                String try2 = default1 + ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', lang.getString(padMessage).replaceAll("@1", default1 + "").replaceAll("@2", default2 + ""));
                return try2;
            }
            return null;
 
    }

Information about getter:
- UltimateFileLoader.LANGf returns a File.
- @1 @2, etc are standard chatcolors in my plugin.
- default1, default2 are just ChatColor.BLUE and ChatColor.AQUA

Bammerbom Any ideas?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Bammerbom YAML doesn't like newlines, most likely.

It is returning the message correctly.
But with some more testing I found this:
The newlines are NOT executing (EDIT: I mean they are being showed in console as \n) , so YAML is probarly returning the string like "\\n"
With this I used .split("\\\\n") and the thread is SOLVED.

That I didnt think about that... -_-

 

It takes regex. I don't know regex, but you might've needed to do Pattern.quote("\n") instead. I'm pretty sure the extra escaping is from regex and not YAML.
