Not reading property correctly ..?

Heya! I'm back

PHP:

public void setup() {
        (new File(directory)).mkdir();
        Settings = new AChatSettings(directory + "config.yml");
        Color = Settings.getString("color");
        if(Color.toLowerCase() == "red") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.RED;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "yellow") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.YELLOW;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "green") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.GREEN;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "aqua") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.AQUA;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "blue") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.BLUE;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "darkblue") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.DARK_BLUE;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "gray") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.GRAY;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "white") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.WHITE;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "black") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.BLACK;
        } else {
            MyColor = ChatColor.YELLOW;
        }
    }

Here you can see I am loading settings from my file, click here to view the property loader.

Configuration file:

Code:

#Minecraft Properties File
#Sat Mar 12 20:34:18 CET 2011
color=blue

The problem is it does not load anything the string, at least I think it doesn't because it just returns to it's default color, yellow. I have also tried putting " before and after the 'blue'.

Help would be appreciated!

 

Your using YAML which uses semicolons like so:

Code:

#Minecraft Properties File
#<Date> <Time>
color: "blue"

Yes me again as well...

 

That at least worked for a little bit, now behold this unbelievable shit:

log (open) log (close)

config file (open) config file (close)

#Minecraft Properties File

new code:

PHP:

    public void setup() {
        (new File(directory)).mkdir();
        Settings = new AChatSettings(directory + "config.yml");
        Color = Settings.getString("color");
        log.info("[AdminChat] Color value is: " + Color);
        if(Color == "blue") {
            log.info("[AdminChat] Color is indeed blue and I am sure about it!");
        } else {
            log.info("[AdminChat] I am a fucker.");
        }
        /*if(Color.toLowerCase() == "red") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.RED;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "yellow") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.YELLOW;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "green") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.GREEN;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "aqua") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.AQUA;
        } else if(Color == "blue") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.BLUE;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "darkblue") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.DARK_BLUE;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "gray") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.GRAY;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "white") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.WHITE;
        } else if(Color.toLowerCase() == "black") {
            MyColor = ChatColor.BLACK;
        } else {
            log.info("[AdminChat] Unsupported color in settings file, resetting color to default. (" + Color + ")");
            MyColor = ChatColor.YELLOW;
        }*/
    }

 

Try using:
Color.equalsIgnoreCase("blue");
I can't think of anything else at the moment.

 

Well you are using a "pseudo-yml" file.
If you want to use a real yml file you need to handle it like so:

Code:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml;

/**
 *
 * @author Sammy
 */
public class yamlHandler {

    private String cmd;
    private Object objd;
    private Object obju;
    BufferedReader input;

    public yamlHandler(String command) {
        this.cmd = command;
        try {

            input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("commands.yml")));

        } catch (Exception ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(yamlHandler.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
        Yaml yaml = new Yaml();
        Map<String, Map<String, Map<String, Object>>> data = (Map<String, Map<String, Map<String, Object>>>) yaml.load(input);

        if (command.equals(command)) {
            objd = data.get("commands").get(cmd).get("description");
            obju = data.get("commands").get(cmd).get("usage");
        }
    }

    public String getdescription() {
        return objd.toString();
    }

    public String getusage() {
        return obju.toString().replace("<command>", cmd);
    }
}

Try using MadMonkeyCo idea, the way you do it isn't wrong per-say but not the best way to do it.

 

Yeah, thanks for your support, but I forgot to mention that MadMonkeyCo's idea already worked.
