[TUT] How to check if the config contains a path ignoring case

If your config looks like this:

Code:

Test: hi
TestBoolean: false
how:
  are:
    you: good
    You: bad

and use this code:

Code:

public boolean ConfigContains(){
if(getConfig().contains("test")){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

it would return false, since the config contains "Test" not "test".
To check if the config contains a string ignoring case use:

Code:

  public boolean configContains(String arg){
        boolean boo = false;
        ArrayList<String> keys = new ArrayList<String>();
        keys.addAll(getConfig().getKeys(false));
        for(int i = 0; i < keys.size(); i++){
            if(keys.get(i).equalsIgnoreCase(arg)){
                boo = true;
            }
        }
        if(boo){
            return true;
        } else {
        return false;
        }
}
    }

 

I do something similar to this to add fields to config when I add a new configurable thing to my plugin, so that old configs have it automatically generated.
