splitting a players name

im trying to make a random nicknamer with the colors and im trying to place different stuff between peoples names, how do i do this

 

You probably need to give more info... but if you just want to split the player's name at any point, just try using one of the vowels.

Code:

String name = player.getName();

if(name.contains("a"){
name = name.split("a") + "What to add to the name inbetween everything and the every letter a";
}

Pretty sure that's how splitting strings works. Someone else can probably correct me if I'm wrong.

 

ok now its giving me an error

int r1 = new Random().nextInt(4) + 1;
String name = target.getName();
if (name.contains("a")) {
name = name.split("a") + r1;
}

its saying, "name.split("a") + r1", is an error

The operator + is undefined for the argument type(s) String[], int

any help?

I have no idea honestly. You'll have to wait for someone else to answer.. :/

 

i know im waiting

 

Your "name" variable is a string; the name.split("a") function returns an array of Strings.
