I'm new to java and I'm creating a simple plug-in for a game and basically I'm stuck on this one part, I need this program to write a characters name to a file when and admin types something in-game and also, does this basically:

//Check if player is in the group nonpvp
		if (player b ==(this is where it needs to check if the player is on the list in this file and if they are return true)

Help is appreciated, thanks!

No problem! You can also use the search function (located in the top right of your page, right under the banner), and after you search, you can limit it down to tutorials!

Hope you find your answer.

i still cant find out how to make the plugin search to see if player b is on the list that it is reading, in my code player b has been given a string i need the program to see if this string matches with any of of the names on the list and if it does return true. ive tried searching ive found nothing D:

You could always use an ArrayList<String> and read in the names from the file (from the tutorial) and read them into the ArrayList. From there, just call the contains() method.

so i could do:

import java.io.*;

 

public class File {

    BufferedReader in;

    String read;

  

    public File(){

        if {

            //open a bufferedReader to file helloworld.txt

            in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("helloworld.txt"));

 

            //read a line from helloworld.txt and save into a string

            read = in.contains(player B)/>;

 

            //print out the line

            System.out.println("file output: " + read);

 

            //safely close the BufferedReader after use

            in.close();

        }catch(IOException e){

            System.out.println("There was a problem:" + e);

        }

    }

 

    public static void main(String[] args){

        File File = new File();

    }

}

and player b will be defined earlier on is that what you said I should do, I'm sorry if I'm being stupid in don't know much but I'm learning and I learn quickest from doing projects like this,
