Add children to config

Hi, I didn't get it, how to do please ?
I have that in config.yml (1st) and need to have that (2nd)

Code:java

Banned:
- 'player1'
- 'player2'

Code:java

Banned:
- 'player1'
- 'player2'
- 'player3'
- 'player4'

And I don't know how to read such list
Have I to do setString("Banned").getKey(true) ?
And so what to do after that ?

Thanks

 

List<String> yourlist = getConfig().getStringList("Path.To.Your.List");

this should help: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Configuration_API_Reference

 

Monkey_Swag Thanks,
But how to add elements please ?

 

list.add(objector something);

 

Skionz I don't understand and can't fin the difference between the getConfig.getString("NormalPath.with.children")
And the list
Have I to do that ?

Code:java

getConfig().addStringList("Path.To.Your.List");

With "addStringList" ?

 

To175 getString returns a String and getList returns a list. I'm not really sure what your asking.

 

To175 Taken from the configuration API reference:

Code:java

// Setting a List of Strings
// The List of Strings is first defined in this array
List<String> listOfStrings = Arrays.asList("Hello World", "Welcome to Bukkit", "Have a Good Day!");
this.getConfig().set("path.to.list", listOfStrings);

 

Monkey_Swag Thanks but I need to add elements, I don't want to set it.
I have a huge list and I need to add elements.

 

To175 Get the current elements, add to the list, and then set.

 

AdamQpzm Fortunately I said

 

To175 ...So? Not sure how that changes anything.

 

Ok, thanks AdamQpzm so I have to do :

Code:java

List<String> list = getConfig().getList("path.to.list");
list.add("to175");

?

 

To175 And then the set method, yes.

 

To175
As stated earlier, you get the list from the config, add your element to that list, then set that list again in the config.

Maybe I can do that ?

Code:java

List<String> list = getConfig().getStringList("BannedPlayers");
list.add(args[1]);
