Solved Removing a key from a configuration section

Hello! Now as I'm sure you are all aware there is the addDefault(path, value) method, is there a removeKey(path) method?

E.g.

Code:

yay: Wafflecopter
nong: Boogie

Code:java

config.removeKey("yay");

Code:

nong: Boogie

 

I believe you do something like this:

Code:java

config.set("path", null);

I just read that somewhere, not entirely sure

 

this would work for a config, though you would still get the default if the key is non-existant

 

That is only true if you blindly set copyDefaults to true.

 

Sagacious_Zed high chance he uses defaults :3

 

Didn't work, it stayed there

 

Bumpity Bump

 

Don't make me bring out the tags ...

 

Ok. Removing something from config files...

Code:java

File configFile = new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml");
FileConfiguration config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(configFile);
config.set("yay", null);
try{
    config.save(configFile);
}catch(IOException e){
    Logger.getLogger("Minecraft").info("Twas an error");
}

 

Solved! I forgot to save the config xD

 

How would you remove it if it was a list or if it was a longer string when i set it to null it ends up like this

Code:

Test:
  Test1:
    test: message
  Test: {}
  Test3:
    test: message
