How to get the beginning of a Path; YML File

Hey guys,

I am creating a seperate .yml file next to the config.yml.

It works to read out the String from that specific path. Is it possible however to read out the Path of a certain String or even just the first bit of the Path?

Now I am going to explain a bit more what exactly I am trying to achieve in the matter that it should be still be unclear (or there might be a more easyer way)

In a yml file the user of my Plugin should be able to configure his own Race with his own Skills. Now to check before the skills are triggered I basicly need to be able to get the racename and then compare it with the race the actual player has. So I was thinking about setting the yml file up as follows

Code:

Human:
  Skills:
    - Skill1
    - Skill2

And then when the event is triggered I want to get the 'Human' to compare that then with the Player.

Thanks in advance

 

Keep checking in a while loop with config.contains, and if you get the right result, use config.getCurrentPath()

 

Ok will test that, thanks

The only issue is

config.contains()

checks if a certain Path is available in the Config File. Not if there is a certain String in it

Anyone has any ideas? Otherwise I need to see how to format the races.ymls

 

yml.getKeys() or yml.getValues(), and I suggest deep as false.
