Removing ' from config.

When I use a command I have made to change a value in the config, it automatically adds in marks around the changed value. For example: value: value1 when changed it would be value: 'value1'. This is a problem because my plugin cannot read the value properly even though I used replaceAll to replace them all with nothing. Thanks.

I am using this:

Code:

    this.getConfig().set("cooldown", args[0].replaceAll("'", ""));

If you're simply trying to set a string, then you don't need to do that. You simply need to do:

Code:java

getConfig().set("your.path", "put your message here");

If you're trying to do anything else, like set an integer, then you don't need to worry about that. You just need to do:

Code:java

getConfig().set("your.path", yourValue);

 

Thank you, but that is what I am using.

Well, you didn't post anything so I had to speculate...

 

Yeah, sorry about that.

 

Connor2weirdness
And... you should probably do that if you want people to help

 

Done c:

You're not doing what I told you above... especially since it seems you're trying to get a numerical value.

 

Uh, I have.

 

Connor2weirdness
What specifically are you trying to set? A number? A string?

 

I'm trying to create an int which the player defines in an onCommand method. Hence the args[0].

 

'your.path' also needs to already be a path in the config I believe, also perhaps your not saving the config?

It would create a path for you. It doesn't need to exist.

args[0] is a string. In order to get the integer value from that and set it properly in the config, you need to do:

Code:java

try{
  int value = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
  //set value in config & save
}catch(NumberFormatException e){}

 

Ahh okay, thanks haha.

 

I can't thank you enough.
