Retrieve chars of a GtkText widget

[Joachim Backes <backes rhrk uni-kl de>]

How to retrieve the Text of a GtkText Widget? I found the macro GTK_TEXT_INDEX(t, index), but one
problem arises: what happens if the given "index" is too large? Because I don't know the length
of the Widget's contents, I have to loop with an increasing index. 
Is there a correct method?

Thanx in advance.

Regards
