Solved .size of a config file

If you have a config file that looks like this:

Code:

'0':
  hi: hello
  hello: hi
'1':
  no: yes
  yes: no

How can you check the size of the main sections (0 and 1) and then how do you iterate through them?

 

Try getConfig().getConfigurationSection("0").getKeys(true).size()

 

Or just use an enhanced loop:

Code:java

for (String s : getConfig().getConfigurationSection("0").getKeys(false)) {
    //will give "hi" and "hello"
}

Its more complex, and I want to loop through ever value in the config
Aka get all values from '0' and '1'
And they aren't all strings

The getConfiguration("").getKeys().size() gives you how many elements are in the section. Every element NAME is a string or represented as a string. You use that name to get to the actual value you want.

To go through every element you use the method 1Rogue gave you.

I dont think that works

Ok.

 

Code:java

for (String s : getConfig().getKeys(false)) {
    // returns "0", "1", etc
}

It's pretty straightforward, and if each number has a similar structure then it does work.

custom config

What are you referring to by custom config?
What I said works. I use it in my own plugins so I can assure you I know how to do it for the Bukkit FileConfiguration.
