With the following properties file:
foo=hello, world! bar=first,second
I would like to retrieve the first item as a string and the second as an array. I would have thought that
getStringArray would deal with this, but it doesn't -
getString("foo") just gets everything before the comma, i.e. "hello".
If I disable delimiter parsing using
setDelimiterParsingDisabled, foo is fine, but this also changes the behaviour of
getStringArray("bar") to return a single-element array!
I can't find how I can explicitly tell it how I want it to interpret an individual config item, either as a string or as an array. I don't want to put the config items into separate config files with different delimiter rules, and I'd prefer to use a comma as the delimiter for the getStringArray case.
To elaborate, this snippet prints either
hello - 2 or
hello, world! - 1 - I want it to print
hello, world! - 2 !
AbstractFileConfiguration config = new PropertiesConfiguration(); config.setFileName("C:\\temp\\temp.properties"); //config.setDelimiterParsingDisabled(true); config.load(); System.out.println(config.getString("foo") + " - " + config.getStringArray("bar").length);
