Solved Retrieving Saved data out of a String

Ok, I saved a string that contains a few heaps of data put together inside a list. Now I need a way to retrieve this so I can actually use the data.

Code:

static List<String> NodeLocation = new ArrayList<String>();
NodeLocation.add(loc.getWorld()+","+loc.getX()+","+loc.getY()+","+loc.getZ());

So I want a way to get the World, X, Y, Z out of this. How should I go about that?


Greets,

do you want to have this data permanently?
you put not much info xD.
presuming nodelocation is a list.
the world would be 1 in the list
x would be 2
etc.
if you want it permanently use bukkit's built in snakeyaml parser.

 

Yeah, I already saved it into a .yml file and everything. It's just that I need to get the data out of there, I don't want to use 4 different lists:
Worlds(i)
Xloc(i)
Yloc(i)
Zloc(i)
Just for the sake of making my code messy, so I want to save all the data into one index of a list. So

Code:

loc.getWorld()+","+loc.getX()+","+loc.getY()+","+loc.getZ()

..is actually one string tied up together and then saved as a single string inside the list. So I wouldnd just be able to use listname(1).. or something cause that would return the full tied up string. I need to get the world(),.. out of that single string.

Nvm, I believe I found out how to do it after googling for some time on the subject.

For people who might need this, you can use:

Code:

String[] ndsplt = nodeloc.split(",");
// ndsplt[0] = world
// ndsplt[1] = X
// ndsplt[2] = Y
// ndsplt[3] = Z

you can just.

Code:

NodeLocation.set(loc.getWorld().toString()+".X", loc.getX);
NodeLocation.set(loc.getWorld().toString()+".Y", loc.getY);
NodeLocation.set(loc.getWorld().toString()+".Z", loc.getZ);

and when you want to get something
NodeLocation.get(loc.getWorld().toString() + ".X");
etc,
