Solved [Config]Get keys that are inside a directory that is inside a section

I had no idea how to make this a title.
I will try to explain as clear as possible what I am trying to achieve.
So I got this config file:

Code:

Hunts:
  a:
    '0':
      Location: 80/67/234/world
      ActivatedBy: []
    '1':
      Location: 80/67/232/world
      ActivatedBy: []
  b:
    '0':
      Location: 80/67/230/world
      ActivatedBy: []
    '1':
      Location: 80/67/232/world
      ActivatedBy: []
    '2':
      Location: 80/67/234/world
      ActivatedBy: []
    '3':
      Location: 80/67/228/world
      ActivatedBy: []

Now I am trying to return the numbers (in a: "0, 1" and in b: "0, 1, 2, 3") with also knowing what their "parents" are(so a and b). I tried this:

Code:

for (String hunt: plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Hunts").getKeys(false)) {
            System.out.println(hunt);
        }

and that outputs the a and b, but I also want to output the numbers, so I tried this:

Code:

for (String hunt: plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Hunts").getKeys(false)) {
            List<String> test = plugin.getConfig().;
            System.out.println(test);
        }

But that prints [] 2 times. Is there someone that can brighten this up for me?

 

@timtower Nothing is after test

 

@timtower why is it non functional? Is that assignment not possible?

 

@xX4w3s0m3Xx
You have a period, but you are not calling any methods. This would not compile.

Either way, to get the the numbers as well, for each "Hunt" key, loop through the keys of those paths (The "Hunt."+key paths)

 

@xX4w3s0m3Xx
I would use nested for loops and loop through the keys a and b, and then in that for loop, loop through the keys there.

 

@timtower I think I had getList(hunt); because I thought I had to get all the numbers from each hunt like that.

@Zombie_Striker and I will try what you said tomorrow

 

@timtower what keys do you mean?

 

@timtower Thank you for explaining! So in your previous post you meant that I need the keys in order to get the values?

 

@xX4w3s0m3Xx
try this

Code:

HashMap<String, List<String>> configKeys = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();
for (String letter : plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Hunts").getKeys(false) { //gives 'a' and 'b'
    configKeys.put(letter, plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Hunts." + letter).getKeys(false);
}

This will create a hash map that looks like this:
{"a": [ "0", "1"], b: ["0", "1", "2", "3"]}

 

@X1machinemaker1X
Thank you very much, although that code has some errors, I got it working, because of the "getConfigurationSection" and "getKeys(false)". This is what I did:

Code:

public static void load() {
            for (String huntName : plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Hunts").getKeys(false)) {
                System.out.println(huntName);
                for (String pressurePlateNumber : plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Hunts." + huntName).getKeys(false)) {
                    System.out.println(pressurePlateNumber);
                    System.out.println(plugin.getConfig().getString("Hunts." + huntName + "." + pressurePlateNumber + ".Location"));
                    System.out.println(plugin.getConfig().getList("Hunts." + huntName + "." + pressurePlateNumber + ".ActivatedBy"));
                }
            }
    }

I'm glad you were able to figure it out.
