Solved Making strings pretty

So I'm trying to make a ranks plugin for my server, and the code I'm runnig works perfect for all the ranks except ones with '+' in them.

Code:JAVA

 
    public String getSimpleName() {
        System.out.println(name);
        for (char c : name.toCharArray()) {
            if (Character.isAlphabetic(c) == false && c != '+') {
                System.out.println(c);
                name = name.replace(Character.toString(c), "");
            }
            if (c == '§' || c == 'º') {
                System.out.println(c);
                System.out.println(Character.toString(name.charAt(name
                        .indexOf(c) + 1)));
                name = name.replace(
                        Character.toString(name.charAt(name.indexOf(c) + 1)),
                        "");
                name = name.replace("º", "");
            }
        }
        System.out.println(name);
        return name;
    }
 

Output when name = "MVP" and then name = "MVP+"

Code:

[20:33:45 INFO]: ºb[MVP]
[20:33:45 INFO]: º
[20:33:45 INFO]: º
[20:33:45 INFO]: b
[20:33:45 INFO]: [
[20:33:45 INFO]: ]
[20:33:45 INFO]: MVP
[20:33:45 INFO]: ºb[MVPº4+ºb]
[20:33:45 INFO]: º
[20:33:45 INFO]: º
[20:33:45 INFO]: b
[20:33:45 INFO]: [
[20:33:45 INFO]: º
[20:33:45 INFO]: º
[20:33:45 INFO]: M
[20:33:45 INFO]: 4
[20:33:45 INFO]: º
[20:33:45 INFO]: º
[20:33:45 INFO]: V
[20:33:45 INFO]: ]
[20:33:45 INFO]: P+

The fact that you post the output, but don't leave any tags to the output (e.g. Name : MVP+, Letter 12 = v, New Line ect.) make it hard to tell what is going on.

Also, it would be easier (and more efficent) if you just used

Code:

name = name.replace("Char1","").replace("char2","")...

instead of doing useless checks and using methods for replacing chars that use up much more memory than what is needed.

 

use:

Code:

!Character.isAlphabetic(c)

as Character.isAlphabetic(c) is a boolean and will return true/false.

 

@Zombie_Striker The check is not useless though, since I'm using color codes so .isAlphabetic(c) would not catch those.

Never Mind, I figured it out, I'm supposed to us .replaceFirst() since .replace() removes ALL instances of that char in the string so it removed all the color code chars at once but then left the letter for it behind.

Thanks for your help!
