Messagers

I am Planing on making a plugin that when write /pm <user><message>
how would i store what the player writes in for the message?

 

Store it as a String, save that to a hashmap with the player name. Save it to an external file, and load it up onEnable()

 

but how do i just get the message so i can store it?

 

Assuming args has at least 2 strings and args[0] is the players name you can use this;

Code:

String message = "";
for(int i = 1; i < args.length; i++) {
    message = message + " " + args[i];
}
message = message.trim();

 

whats the .trim();?

 

.trim() gets rid of white space (spaces) on the front and back of the string. Without it you would have an extra space at the beginning of the message.

 

ok thanks
