Solved Help with configuration file

How do I do to set strings in a config and then grabs them and separates them ?

Example:
Player reason temp
SrNick you are banned 100

The player will be used to check if it is banned
The reason will serve as a kick message
And time will serve to make the count and unban

It is possible to do this?

 

@SrNicks_ String#split?

 

This is going to be pretty crude and conceptual, I've had a long day and my ability to speak what I'm trying to say is diminished so I apologize in advance.

Make a config file.
Organize the messages like this in the file-

player reason temp

list = getconfig.getstringlist(config file name)
for (string : list) //runs through number of columns you have in the config
string[] x = string.split(" ") // this will add the items to an array list "player", "reason", "temp", splitting them up by the space in between them

from there you can just retrieve them by using a for loop

for (int k : string[].size)
string p = string[k]
string reason = string[k+1]
string temp= string[k+2]

etc.

 

@SrNicks_ Personally, I would do [Name] [Time] [Reason], because it will be easier to get an array of strings at the end of it rather than the middle.

I like to use a separator like a semi-colon or | then use String.split(";") or String.split("|"). It will only split the string up at those "separators", and make it a lot easier for me. You can also check out the configuration api reference page for a lot of config stuff.

What you want done is very possible and not too difficult. Just test using the String.split() method in a separate project until you get what you want.
