Edit item in config list

Hi,

For a plugin I need to change some value's from my stringlist in the configuration section. This is the config;


What I want is to change Umpalumpa/Open to Umpalumpa/Closed.
This is some of the code I've created;

Code:java

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("ride")) {
            if(args.length == 0) {
                Bukkit.broadcastMessage(".");
            }
 
            else if(args.length >= 1) {
                if(args[0].equals("close")) {
                    String varAttr = args[1].toString();
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage(varAttr);
 
                    int size = plugin.getConfig().getStringList("Attracties").size();
                    String[] attractie = plugin.getConfig().getStringList("Attracties").toArray(new String[0]);
                    for(int i = 0; i < size ; i++) {
                        String[] split = attractie[i].split("/");
                        String attractienaam = split[0];
                        String attractiestatus = split[1];
 
                        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(attractienaam);
                        if(attractienaam.equalsIgnoreCase(varAttr.toLowerCase())) {
 
 
                            if(attractiestatus.equalsIgnoreCase("Closed")) {
                                //Don't do anything, it's already open
                            }
 
                            else {
                                //Open it
 
 
                            }
 
                        }
 
                    }
                }[/i]

 

use FileConfiguration#getList() to get the List from the config. Then use the remove() method to remove a certain line from the list. Then you can add a new line by using the add() method. After adding the line to the list put the list back in the configuration file using the FileConfiguration#set() method.

 

That could be possible, but that would mess up the order of the items, the order is rather important

 

Jordymt Remove then both then.

 

I'll be a list of around 36 items

 

You could just use booleans. config.set("Umpalumpa", true);

 

Tried this;

Code:java

plugin.getConfig().getStringList("Attracties").remove(i);
                                plugin.getConfig().getStringList("Attracties").add(attractienaam + "/Open");
                                plugin.saveDefaultConfig();
                                plugin.saveConfig();
                                plugin.reloadConfig();

Won't add it to the config

 

Jordymt saveDefaultConfig() will save the default values. Just use booleans.

 

Have a look into the methods List#indexOf(Object) and List#set(int, E). They should be all you need. But I would advise you to drop this design completely, and use a completely different setup than a simple list. Remember keys in the config can have subkeys.

 

Can't just use booleans, I need to loop the list trough to make a menu

Same thing as I say to Skionz, don't think this will work, or it will be to complicated

Edit; I'm talking about the keys and subkeys, indexOf and set I will look into, thanks!

 

Jordymt You can loop through all subkeys of a key in the config. YamlConfiguration#getConfigurationSection and YamlConfiguration#getKeys should help you there. Please consider it.

 

Thanks, I tried it out and it works perfectly and much easier.
