Saving config string lists into a hashmap

I'm trying to get a String list and add them into a HashMap when my server starts, but i'm not sure on how i can get all of the lists correctly. Here is what my config.yml looks like.

Code:java

Groups:
  GroupA:
    Members:
    - levi12| Leader
    - therock124| Recruit
  GroupB:
    Members:
    - MCCoding| Leader
 

I'm trying to get all of the members name and not include the "| Recruit" part is thats possable, if there is a better way let me know, then add their mc names as the key of the HashMap and the group name as the value, any help is much appreciated!

 

MCCoding Split the String on the | with the split() method, ignore irrelevant part of array.

Ah okay i thought there was a method for that, do you know how I could get the string lists and add them into a HashMap?

 

MCCoding Look into ConfigurationSections.

Thanks for that it seems to have worked but the strings it's out putting are wrong and i can't seem to correct them. they are coming out like

1. [levi12 | Leader, therock124 | Recruit]

where they need to be all separate so, "levi12 | Leader" then "therock124 | Leader". They can't all be put together as one string they have to be a string each name.

 

MCCoding Code please?

Oh wow i forgot the most important part here you go

Code:java

for(String key : getGroupsConfig().getConfigurationSection("Groups.").getKeys(false)) {
System.out.println(key);
 
System.out.println("Key = " + key + " Value = " + getGroupsConfig().getStringList("Groups." + key + ".Members"));
}

 

MCCoding getStringList() returns a List<String> - you can loop over these values to achieve the desired individual Strings.

Ah yeah, thanks for that got it all to work!
