Next available option in a path

Hi,

Currently I am trying to make a plugin that in the config it has something like this:

Code:

variables:
  variable1: 24
  variable2: 32
  variable3: 2343 

Now variable1, 2 and 3 can be changed (In terms of names), so I want to know how I can go down the list of available paths (Like getConfig().getString("variables.variable1")). Sort-of like a ladder.

Thanks,
Mazen

 

I may be misunderstanding you, but if I get what you're asking, bukkit automatically sorts them like a ladder. For example if you were to do something such as:

Code:java

getConfig().set(Test1.Test2, "Hi");

Your config would look like:
Test1:
Test2: Hi

So if you had in your config:

variables:
variable1:
variable2:
etc....

to get the value of variable 1, you would do exactly as you said, using getConfig().getString(variables.variable1).
If I misunderstood what you were asking, just let me know.

Not really, let me explain a little bit. So, lets say the plugin makes it so you can sell a item for a certain price so it would be like this:

Code:

Items:
  322: 23 <-- Price
  1: 120

How would I get these items from that path, I know you can use list's but I can't use them for this plugin.

Use ConfigurationSection#getKeys(boolean)

Mind showing me an example of how I can go down the list? Like you're going down a ladder. For example, like a list.. You can do list.get(number); would there be a way to do it like that?

PHP:

for(String key : getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Items").getKeys(false)) {
    String base = "Items.";
    String prePrice = base + key

    int actualPrice = getConfig().getInt(prePrice);
}

Thank you soo much! Don't mind if I ask one more thing, but how would I check the position of the key.. its due to the fact that I want to see if its the last available path.

You can check if key is equal to a specific string. Otherwise, I have no idea.
