Joe, Something like
my ($x, $y) = $RE->Selection(); should do it. $x and $y will be the character positions of the selection, the whole text in the richedit being treated as a single long string. If you want to find out line numbers you can use my $line1=$RE->LineFromChar($x); my $line2=$RE->LineFromChar($y); Cheers, Kev. |---------+------------------------------------------------> | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | Sent by: | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | ceforge.net | | | | | | | | | 07/11/2002 18:01 | | | | |---------+------------------------------------------------> >----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net | | cc: | | Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Richedit selected text | >----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Hello, I know that if you have some text selected in Richedit you can get the start and end position but how to you get the actuall text that is selected?
