Sending a List from a Config file?

Hello, I'm trying to send a list from config file, this is what I mean:

Config:

Code:

Ranks:
-Test: this rank is a test.
-Test2: this is test2 rank.
-Test3: this is test3 rank.

and I want to send the list to a player at one time, any help?
Thanks for taking some time to read my post

What exactly do you mean with "at one time"?

Do you mean something like this:

Code:java

List<String> messages = getConfig().getStringList("Ranks");
for(String m : messages) {
player.sendMessage(m);
}

or do you mean with only one player.sendMessage() / setJoinMessage()?
Then you would have to concatenate all list items first:

Code:java

List<String> messages = getConfig().getStringList("Ranks");
String message = "";
for(String m : messages) {
message += m;
message += "\n";
}
player.sendMessage(message);

 

I'll try that, thanks!

sd5 it works! thank you so much! but one more question, how do I translate colours in config? like I want to use & in config how do I do that?
