Solved How to add strings, and get strings from a list

Hello, I'm having trouble figuring out how to add strings to a list, as well as getting them from a list.

 

this is basic java. learn that then come back to bukkit

 

Sorry I mean how to add string and get string from a configuration file.

 

Duuckky http://wiki.bukkit.org/Configuration_API_Reference

 

Code:java

    List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
    list.add("some string(s)");
 
    getConfig().set("ListName", list);
    saveConfig();

Congrats, you've now created your first list..
Now to get a string for example from the list,

Code:java

getConfig().getList("ListName").get("something from the list");

 

Okay thanks, this is working but there is one problem... when I try to add multiple things to the config file, they overwrite each other.

 

getConfig().getList("ListName").set("string", "something"); right? I don't have my IDE right now, if they're overriding each other you must be setting the same value 2 times make sure that the "string" above is different everytime -- if you could paste some code that'd be great as I'm not sure exactly what your asking
