Solved {name} In the config

Hey I was wondering if it would be possible to make it so that {name} would get change to the player name when the message is gotten from the config

So like the config is

Welcome to the server {name}

and the message that is sent is

Welcome to the server p.getName()

This is only en example and not that I want to use it for.

 

@Mao
String message = myConfig().get("my.Path");
message.replace(What I want to replace, replace with);

 

Get the string then do String#replace("{name}", Player#getName())

Edit: Ninja'd by @CraftCreeper6

 

@Mao Yeah. Get the message, for example (EXAMPLE!) config.getString("MyMessageHere").replace("{name}", p.getName());
That would get you the message and replace {name} with your players name.

 

Yhea the fun thins is that just before reloading this page I stumbled into a thread where I got my answer, but much thanks to all of you

 

isn't it better to do String#replaceAll(""{name}, Player#getName()) ?

 

@Dmrtje
Yes, either way, but by the looks of it he only wants to replace one. Therefore, it's not mandatory.

 

String#replaceAll is mainly used for RegEx. String#replace also doesn't just replace one instance, it replaces all.

 

@CraftCreeper6 but just to be sure if he wants to add more of {name} for Example Hello {name}, I know you {name}

EDIT:
@TGRHavoc didn't saw you post

 

@Dmrtje
I was wrong.

 

Actually, I thought {} was one of those characters that throws errors? If it is, try "\\{stuff\\}"

 

It is

Off-topic. Don't want the thread to get locked for such a silly reason.

 

I don't believe that the "{}" characters need to be escaped. I've used strings such as {name} in strings many times without escaping with no issues what so ever.

 

@TGRHavoc

 

Fair point, just don't want people to be spreading false information


@Mao
Has your issue been solved?

 

Yes it has, I thank all of you who helped me. Have a good day

 

Marked thread as solved.

@Mao When it is solved go to thread tools > edit thread > Prefix > Solved
