[SOLVED]Check for definition method if a config

Hey there!

I need some help. I have to check out, how the config is "stored" (set)

old format

Code:

name=COLOR

new format

Code:

name: COLOR

Is there any way, how I could check, whether there is a "=" or a ": "?
I already thought about if contains...., then replace the = part.

Any ideas?

Greetings

 

You could use a FileReader and do something like:

Code:java

 
while (reader.hasNext()) {
String s = (String) reader.getNext(); // Don't remember if it needs cast
s.replace("=", ": ");
} finally {
reader.flush();
reader.close();
}
 

That should work as is, if not you get the point

I use this method (working for me ), 'cause your's doesn't write to the file again. It changes the String, but nothing more

Code:java

 
    public void updateConfig(File colors) throws Exception {
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(colors));
        // Create a file called temp.txt
        File tempFile = new File(getDataFolder(), "temp.txt");
        BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(tempFile));
        String line;
        try {
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                // if the old system is found update 
                if (line.contains("=")) {
                    String newLine = line.replace("=", ": ");
                    // store in temp file
                    out.write(newLine);
                    out.newLine();
                }
                else {
                    // line is okay, store in temp file
                    out.write(line);
                    out.newLine();
                }
            }
            // Close all
            reader.close();
            out.flush();
            out.close();
            // Delete old players.color and rename temp file
            colors.delete();
            tempFile.renameTo(colorsFile);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.warning("ColorMe failed to update the colors! Report this please!");
        }
    }
 

 

Glad it worked
