Solved Converting ConfigurationSections into a string object?

Hey guys, So I was wondering what the most effecient way of getting a list of sub-pathways of another high level sub-pathway was:

Example:

Code:

world:
    country:
        state:
              county:
        state:

So lets say I wanted to get a list of the states from a country. If I try to use getStringList(world.country) It actually won't work. It will return nothing. The reason is because its children are also lists and not values.

So I am asking what is the best way to do this.

Is there a way to do something similar to getKeys(boolean) except with no boolean and only within "world.country" to get only a list of states?

 

Code:java

 
ConfigurationSection section = config.getConfigurationSection("world.country");
//You have all the paths to your states in this list
List<String> paths = section.getKeys(true);
 

 

ninjad!

Oh wow... it is that easy?

Lol thanks

 

Yeah, sometimes I myself am surprised by the simplicity of the Bukkit API

Ya I originally thought I was gonna have to get crafty with an Iterator to do this xD

 

you can also use
for (String key : config.getConfigurationSection("world.country").getKeys(false)){
//code
//example
String county = config.getString("world.country." + key);
stateCountyMap.put(key, county);
}
to iterate through it and use the value for something instead of assigning it to a list
