Get list where string is in?

Sup guys,
I got an question for my plugin im coding atm,
I got an idea about saving the players name in a list in a config,
But how would i get the stringlist where he is in?
So for example:

Code:

this:
  is:
    a:
      test:
        - "test"
        - "xGuus"
        - "Notch"
        - "Dinnerbone"

So i want to get the name of the list where, for example, the string xGuus is in.
How would i do this?

You can get the list of strings in this example via:
config.getStringList("this.is.a.test");
(assuming that you are using the default path separator)

 

Okay, but how would i get the name of the string he is in?

 

iAmGuus loop over all lists and check each of them.

 

Try putting them into a HashMap. Save them. Load them. Then read them using the HashMap instead. Just my idea.

 

fireblast709, how would i get all the stringlists in a config? I am gonna look in the javadocs in a sec, so thanks alot for your answers already!

mrgreen33gamer, i like your idea, and you mean by loading making this :

HashMap<String, String> kits = get.path.to.config

?

 

iAmGuus well that depends on the actual config

 

fireblast709 i will give the config etc tomorrow at my time,
Its here 22:00
