Solved Help needed in getting part of the args when the command is run

I am trying to create a /msg command but I can't seem to figure out how to get all the args BUT args[0]. So the command would be like /msg [Player] [msg] amd I want to get the msg. Thanks in advance for any helps.

 

lordbobby104 msg would be args[1] but that wouldn't allow you to do messages with spaces

edit: sorry I read that wrong.

 

Get the rest of the values in the array after args[0] and join them together with a space.

 

The_Doctor_123 So like this?

Code:

                           StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                            for(int n=0;n<args.length;n++) {
                                if(n > 1) {
                                    sb.append(" ");
                                }
                                sb.append(args[n]);
                            }

Done with a little Google search
The problem is this returns a StringBuilder and I need a String[]

The_Doctor_123 Thats not even colse to right is it? Lol

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

Code:

for(int i = 1; i <= args.length; i++) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(args[I] + " ");[/I]
[I]//to get string sb.toString();[/I]
[I]//you could use str + str but using StringBuilder will increase performance by a fraction[/I]
} 

edit: wow.. one edit messed up my whole post -_-
whoops just noticed you will need to take the StringBuilder object initialization away from the foor loop

 

Untested:

Code:

        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("test")){
         
            String string = "";
         
            for (int i = 1; i < args.length; i++){
                string = string + args[i];
            }
         
        }

 

the_merciless Doesn't work D:
Here is my code:

Code:

        if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("msg")) {
            if(sender instanceof Player) {
                Player player = (Player) sender;
                if(player.hasPermission("bc.msg")) {
                    if(args.length == 0 || args.length == 1) {
                        Exceptions.notEnoughArgs(player);
                    } else {
                        Player target = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
                        if(target == null) {
                            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "That player isn't online!");
                        } else {
                            target.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "<" + player.getName() + " -> me> " + MessageMethods.getMsg(args));
                            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "<me -> " + target.getName() + "> " + MessageMethods.getMsg(args));
                            MessageMethods.setLastMessaged(player, target);
                        }
                    }
                } else {
                    Exceptions.notEnoughPermission(player);
                }
            }
            return true;
        }

My MessageMethods:

Code:

    private static HashMap<String, String> players = new HashMap<String, String>();
 
    public static String getMsg(String[] msg) {
        String string = "";
 
        for (int i = 0; i < msg.length; i++){
                string = string + msg;
            }
        string.replaceFirst(msg[0], "");
        return string;
    }
   
    public static String getLastMessaged(Player p) {
        return players.get(p.getName());
    }
   
    public static void setLastMessaged(Player p, Player t) {
        if(players.containsKey(p.getName())) {
            players.remove(p.getName());
            players.put(p.getName(), t.getName());
        } else {
            players.put(p.getName(), t.getName());
        }
    }
   
    public static boolean hasMessaged(Player p) {
        return players.containsKey(p.getName());
    }

 

hang on, my posts keep going wrong...

 

lordbobby104 what doesn't work about it? is it because it doesnt have spaces?

 

Sorry had problems with the [ i ], it kept removing it to make the text italic.

Try this....

Code:

public static String getMsg(String[] msg) {
String string = "";
 
for (int i = 1; i < msg.length; i++){
string = string + msg[i] + " ";
}
return string;
}

 

the_merciless that will include args[0]

Code:java

//psuedo code
 
public static String getMsg(String[] msg) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for(int i = 1; i < msg.length; i++) sb.append(msg[i] + " ");
return sb.toString();
}[/i]

i think this should work..

 

edited again, sorry. I keep doing it wrong. I think yours should work too.

 

Pizza371 the_merciless Thanks it works!
