Re: Gtk::Text

[Andrew Ryan <anr1 anr1 com>]

Well once again this is probably not the most efficient way in the world
but heres what I would do

$length = $text->get_length
$text->set_point(0)
$ezvan = $text->get_chars(0,$length)

I think you might also be able to get away with this
$ezvan = $text->get_chars(0,-1)

Hope this helps
