Creating a toplist out of a YML file?

Hey Bukkit Forums!

I have a problem: I want to create a /top command out of a YML File. My constuction is like this:

Code:

Player:
    Zeryther:
        Points: 100

At the moment it's impossible for me to change to a MySQL database. Anybody have a code snippet or something like that for me?

Regards,

I do actually! Would you like to be spoon fed the code or just me tell you how to do it?

Take a look at this post:

Also here is an example code to get you to the same point where they started:

Code:java

 Map<String, Integer> top = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
List<String> players = yml.getStringList("Player");
for (int i = 0; i < players.size(); i++) {
top.put(players.get(i), yml.getInt("Player." + players.get(i)));
}

I still don't really understand how to implement this to my code..

This is a rather complicated thing to do. I found this resource, which gives a good demonstration of how to go about doing it I have been planning on making a simple resource in the Resources section dealing with this, but I just never got around to it
