Solved Loop through multiple configs in specific folder

Hey!

One of my plugins stores stats of the user in files.

They are all stored within
/path/to/your/plugin/pluginName/players/playerName.cookie

(basicly a normal txt file but has more style with a plugin specific ending )

Is there a Method within Java or even within Bukkit that allows me to get all of the file names out of one folder so I can go ahaed and get a integer value from one of the paths?

What I want to do (I describe it here now maybe there is a more easier way)

I want to make a Leaderboard for the top 10 players. For that I would need to have the specific value from each individual playerfile. So any Input regarding this matter is appreciated.

Edit: While I sent this in I thought of maybe writing an extra config file that saves all playernames as path and the corresponding value is their score. But I still would like to hear your peoples opinion on it

Why not just use the listFiles() method on a File object that points to your "players" directory? Then you can iterate over your files for the info that you want.

If your player's directory has a mix of files and you just want the .cookie files, then just pass a FilenameFilter to the same method.

Code:

private final FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {
    @Override
    public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
        return name.endsWith(".cookie");
    }
};

 

Cheers. Didn't know there was a Method called listFiles() ;-)

 

L33m4n123 I have also been looking for a way to make a leaderboard with per-player yaml files (I would prefer /top <page> but meh, either would do) if you come across a way would you be so kind as to share a little code :3?

Pizza371 save all the stats in a HashMap<String, Integer>, and use TreeMaps and comparators to order them. See this thread.
