[SOLVED] [1.8] Removing formatted words from text message

[Anon10W1z]

I have the following code:

 

String checkMessage = Arrays.stream(event.message.getFormattedText().split(" ")).filter(word -> !word.startsWith("§") || word.startsWith("§f")).collect(Collectors.joining(" "));
System.out.println(checkMessage);

 

This is intended to remove the words that start with '§' but not "§f". However, it turns out when I print checkMessage no words get filtered.

Any reasoning behind this?
