Read and say a file

Hi again,
I was wondering how I would make a Plugin say something off of a .txt or .properties file when a user says /test or something

thanks anyway

 

An easy way would be to use a Scanner.

I've been using onPlayerCommandPreprocess (until I work out how to use onCommand() properly, been moving for the past few days) so, this will simply be based off of onPlayerCommandPreprocess() in PlayerListener.

Code:

import java.util.Scanner;
// bukkit imports go here

public class TestPlayerListener extends PlayerListener
{
     // constructor and all that here ...

    @Override
    public void onPlayerCommandPreprocess(PlayerChatEvent event)
    {
        // parse command, blah blah blah.

        if(command.equalsIgnoreCase("/test"))
        {
            Scanner fileread = new Scanner(new File("test.txt"));
            while(fileread.hasNextLine())
            {
                event.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + fileread.nextLine());
            }
            fileread.close(); // unsure if this exists, but it's best to close it if it does exist.
        }
    }
}

Basically, the "Scanner" class allows you to read through a file without any complications, and makes life easier (and lazier).

 

thanks and do you also know how i would let the colour be chosen in the .txt file?

 

what you could also use is java.util.Prperties
wikipedia
java api

us it like this:

Code:

Properties config = new Properties();
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter("plugins/ColorPlugin/ColorPlugin.properties");
FileReader reader = new RileReader("plugins/ColorPlugin/ColorPlugin.properties");

config.setProperty("Color", "red");
config.store(writer, "put your comments here");
...
config.load(reader)           // only use this once (when the plugin is loaded for example)
config.getProperty("Color");   // will return red as a String

 

where would i put this?
