Hello, list!
The following link tells you how to get the contents of the
entire text widget as a string:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-question-index.html#id2850623
GtkTextIter start, end;
GtkTextBuffer *buffer;
char *text;
buffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer (GTK_TEXT_VIEW (text_view));
gtk_text_buffer_get_bounds (buffer, &start, &end);
text = gtk_text_iter_get_text (&start, &end);
...use text...
g_free (text);
;) Just copy. It has to work, doesn't it?
