Simple way to turn args into sentence?

Hi. This is what I have so far.
Thank you.

Code:

package me.thecerealkill3r.adminchat;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;

public class AdminChat implements CommandExecutor, Listener {

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String lbl, String[] args){
        if((sender instanceof Player));
        Player player = (Player) sender;
       
        if(args.length < 1){
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You didn't include a message!");
        }
       
        if(args.length > 1){
          sender.sendMessage( /*/ What would I put here? Thank you. /*/ );
        }
        return false;
}
}

 

From my understanding of what you are wanting to do, you could use this

Code:

player.sendMessage(args[1]);

 

@Jackson12 That only picks the second out of all your arguments. For example:

/ac 1 2 3 4 5 6

args[1] would pick argument number 2

 

I'd use a string builder to concatenate all of the arguments, simply done as so:

Code:

StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
for(int i = 1; i < args.length; i++){
  message.append(args[i]);
  if( (i + 1) != args.length){
    //this is to add a space between args, but not the last word
    message.append(" ");
  }
}

player.sendMessage(message.toString());

 

Oh cool! I was wondering how to do this. Also your signature for your website takes me to a blank page, I had to remove the index part to get onto it

 

@mrdude123 Another way you can do it would be to do:

Code:java

 
String message = "";
for(String s : args)
{
    message = message + s + " ";
}
// Variable message will be the message

 

@TheDiamond06 true, but you'll end with an useless space. The code @Adamki11s provided doesn't

 

@mrdude123 i dont know if this is what you mean? StringUtils.join(args, " ");

 

Is a good way to achieve this. StringBuilder should be used for something like this

Is an inefficient way. You should use a StringBuilder and append inside the loop.

Is another good suggestion. If you don't want to append the strings yourself, use the StringUtils class from the Apache Commons lib that is already packaged in the Bukkit API.

 

Thanks for pointing that out, it's fixed now.
