Command Args for a Reason to be sent

I'm trying to make is where if someone types /warn [playername] [times warned] [reason]. They get the reason why they were warned with how many times they have been warned. x/3. I have the times warned but, I need help with the reason. How would I do that?
Code:

Code:

        if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("warn"))
        {
            Player p = (Player) s;
            if(p.hasPermission("lightningedit.warn"))
            {
                if(args.length == 1)
                {
                    for(Player warn : Bukkit.getServer().getOnlinePlayers())
                    {
                        if(warn.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(args[0]))
                        {
                            if(args.length == 2)
                            {
                                if(args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("1"))
                                {
                                   
                                }
                                else if(args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("2"))
                                {
                                   
                                }
                                else if(args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("3"))
                                {
                                   
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                    p.playSound(p.getLocation(), Sound.CAT_HISS, 1, 2);
                                    p.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Invalid Syntax </warn [player] [times warned] [reason]");
                                }
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                p.playSound(p.getLocation(), Sound.CAT_HISS, 1, 2);
                                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Invalid Syntax </warn [player] [times warned] [reason]");
                            }
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            p.playSound(p.getLocation(), Sound.CAT_HISS, 1, 2);
                            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Invalid Syntax </warn [player] [times warned] [reason]");
                        }
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                p.playSound(p.getLocation(), Sound.CAT_HISS, 1, 2);

            else
            {
                p.playSound(p.getLocation(), Sound.CAT_HISS, 1, 2);
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Denied Access.");
            }
        }

 

@JarFile

Code:

public static String[] getMsgFromArgs(final String[] args, final int indexBegin, final int indexEnd) {
    return Arrays.copyOfRange(args, indexBegin, indexEnd);
}

From this, you can input your args, set the indexBegin as 3 and set the indexEnd as the length of the args. All you have to do is convert your new String[] into a String .

 

Just to let you know... This code:

Code:

 for(Player warn : Bukkit.getServer().getOnlinePlayers())
                    {
                        if(warn.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(args[0]))
                        {
                            if(args.length == 2)
                            {
                                if(args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("1"))
                                {
                                 
                                }
                                else if(args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("2"))
                                {
                                 
                                }
                                else if(args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("3"))
                                {
                                 
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                    p.playSound(p.getLocation(), Sound.CAT_HISS, 1, 2);
                                    p.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Invalid Syntax </warn [player] [times warned] [reason]");
                                }
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                p.playSound(p.getLocation(), Sound.CAT_HISS, 1, 2);
                                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Invalid Syntax </warn [player] [times warned] [reason]");
                            }
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            p.playSound(p.getLocation(), Sound.CAT_HISS, 1, 2);
                            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Invalid Syntax </warn [player] [times warned] [reason]");
                        }
                    }

Will never run if the arguments are not equal to one. Your nested if (args.length == x)s are screwing you over.

Edit: Actually, it will never run.

 

@JarFile Use the >= operator instead of the == operator.

 

@DJSkepter Gives me lots of errors when I put that into the code...

 

I use this in my banning plugin:

Code:

StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
                  for (int i = 3; i < args.length; i++) {
                    str.append(args[i] + " ");
                  }
                  String reason= str.toString();

 

You kind of defeated the entire purpose of using a stringbuilder if you're still concatenating the strings in the loop:

Code:java

//Assuming bounds checks have already been done
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(args[2]); //including the first word
for (int i = 3; i < args.length; i++) {
    sb.append(' ').append(args[i]); //Append a space, then the word
}
String reason = sb.toString();[/i]
