Solved So.... Configuration Sections..

Hi! I'm wondering how to get if a section of my configuration exists..
so if I did this:
yaml.set("lol.1", "hey");
2.34 hours later..
did this
if(yaml.getConfigurationSection("lol.1") == null);;;;;;;;;;
or yaml.get("lol.1") == null
Although.. I don't see why there is getConfigurationSection when you can get a section like above, unles they are different, I need help! ;c
would this actually work? I need this bad because there's no other way to detect how many sections my for loop put into my config
Thank you!

 

Try "yaml.getConfigurationSection("lol")", instead of getting a YAML leaf/end node.

 

You can loop through the keys:

Code:java

 
ConfigurationSection s = yaml.getConfigurationSection("lol");
if (s == null) {
    s = yaml.createSection("lol");
}
for (String key: s.getKeys(false)) {
    getLogger().info("lol." + key + "=" + s.getString(key));
}

Thanks for the help!
I'm basically trying to save an array of Locations to a config, I'll show you example code (can't get real code not on computer ) you might be able to help me better

Code:java

void saveLocsToFile() {
File f = new File("/blah");
yamlconfig = yaml; //legit :P
Location[] l = new Location[ bunch, of, different, locations ];
for(int i = 0; i < l.length; i++) {
yaml.set("lol." + i + ".x", l[i].getBlockX()); //same with all other co-ords + world string
}
}[/i]

And as you see it might be a problem retrieving the data since I don't know how big the Location file has got( this is in a save() method for Arenas)
so I would need to loop through them when retrieving them, but I would need to know if when the int reaches 5, if 5 existed in the yaml file

 

The code I pasted allows you to loop through them regardless of how many you have.

 

metalhedd Ohhhhhhh I see, I've been wondering how to get those, sorry I don't know why I didn't acknowledge what you said in the post, haha.
Thank alot!
