Re: get text from GtkText

[ZB <zb197 yahoo com>]

dont use the old one.

read the api at:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/gtk/gtkeditable.html#GTK-EDITABLE-GET-CHARS

you want to use "gtk_editable_get_chars"

Syntax is

gchar *tmp;

tmp = gtk_editable_get_chars (GTK_EDITABLE(WIDGET), 0,
-1)

printf ("This is my text %s\n", tmp);

g_free(tmp);

WIDGET is the widget you created.
