Some Config Help!

How would I make a config file where you have to have the items inside the

Code:

''

Like would I still use

Code:java

plugin.getConfig().getString("");

 

Your example or explanation are a little vague.
Try again? :/

 

Like in the config.yml like have the words inside

Code:

''

What do you mean? Why would the items need to be inside apostrophes?

 

When you read the config.yml file you identify the key and then get the value of that key as a data type.
E.g. number: 10 could be read as plugin.getConfig().getString("number"); or plugin.getConfig().getInt("number");

In this example we'll look at getting a string:

Code:

important:
  string: "This is all a string I want to get"

Code:java

plugin.getConfig().getString("important.string");

The speech marks are usually optional but sometimes they are required for special strings and I tend to 'String here' or "String here too" just to be safe.
.getString("key") will work fine with "Test" or Test

Warning: Formatting your config is essential. Do not use tabs, for each tab use two spaces. For every indented key this extends the keys name to be "one.two.three".

 

AFAIK you only need quotes or apostrophes if your string starts with a special character, (!@#$%^&* etc)
