[TKINTER] How do print ttk.Text's text

[WillLTT]

im trying and have been trying to do this one simple thing.

 

Ive made a ttk.Text, im trying to extract what someone wrote in it.

I refuse to use ttk.Entry as it is not MULTILINE. Multiline was the whole purpose of using ttk.Text

 

im trying to get all the lines into a string list (array). i cannot manage this.

 

I cannot find any documentation on this.

im willing to use ttk.Entry if its multiline.. 

 

Example code of what i want to achieve:

String[] text = text_input
print(text[1]) //print line one of the textbox

also i know thats not how python lists work, but its for an example code only. 

 

HOW?! ive been thru the 3 first pages of google!

Does the 'print(text[1])' line work? Does replacing that '1' for a '2' work?

If so, can you write a for loop for this language?

tkinter is a import in python, not a own language  'print(text[1])' will not work as i do not yet have a array list of the lines of ttk.Text, im trying to achieve that

If you print the .text property, does it have the next lines built in? If so, you can probably split the Text property on \n (that is probably the next line 'command') and then insert it into an array.

lines = text.split("\n")  

I am not sure how Python/Tkinter deals with have \n in a string.You might need to escape it using an @ at the beginning of the sentence.. But this is probably kind of what is needed.

Not sure how Python works with arrays, but most programming languages begin an array at 0. So text[1] would in fact be the second line

Arrary lists in python work like this: " list = ["one", "two", "three"] " remove the " tho. 

 

But first, i have to get the text out of the textbox

tkk.Text Reference i cannot find anything to extra from the textbox only insert. Got any ideas?

Seems like you can use a .get() method on the textbox + some parameters.
