Help on Text Widgets

[SmallProgram]

Hello Everybody there,
I am stuck with a problem again.
I want to know whether we can get the information(Data) that we type in a text box.
If we can can you suggest me one.

There are several ways to do this (assuming I understand correctly what you're after). I often use a textbox for editing so what I want, when it's done, is all the text:

set bfrlst [split [$w.tbx get 0.0 end] \n]

This takes all the data in the textbox ($w.tbx) and makes each line (by splitting on \n) a list element. You can be selective about gettng the text if you know something, either by absolute location or tag, about where in the textbox the data you want is. "linestart" and "lineend" refer to the beginning and end of the line on which the cursor is. "wordstart" and "wordend" refer to the beginning and end of the word where the cursor is. Bob Rashkin
