How to make a proper string

I was making a config with a customizable string today and ran into a problem. In game the ' show up. For example

The ' signs
It use to not do this but now it does. This is how I'm imputting my string
config.yml

Code:

# This is the message sent to a player when he types /test
message: ‘&bNotice the signs’

This is how I'm sending the code

Code:java

p.sendMessage(this.getConfig().getString("message").replaceAll("&", "\u00A7"));

When I have no signs at all it cuts the message in half. How do I fix this?

 

The ampersand (&) symbol does not require apostrophes around the string iirc

 

mydeblob Hmm, that's weird..

Try this:

(might not fix it..)

Code:java

p.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', this.getConfig().getString("message")));

My method to getting a string and translating the Color Codes:

Code:java

player.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("path.to.whatever")));

 

You're simply using the wrong apostrophe symbol e.g. ` and ´ are used for something like è or é whole ' is used for something like "he's" or "she's" or in your case for code.

Also, you rather than replacing & with "\u00A7" I'd recommend replacing it with § but that is just personal preference, I guess , hope this helped.

The color codes are not causing it. I even removed color code capability completely and it still happened
It does the same thing without the color codes

I tryed replacing the ' with a " but it did the exact same thing, but with the quotation mark.
