Re: more of a C question than GTK+3.0??
What I would do instead is: GtkWidget **label[1000]; // if you have a dynamic number of labels, consider using a GArray maybe int i = 0; label[i++] = gtk_label_new("first text"); // this will be label[0] label[i++] = gtk_label_new("second text"); // this will be label[1] … After this, instead of creating a string "label1", you just need the number 1, and can use this: s = gtk_label_get_text(GTK_LABEL(label[1])); where 1 can instead be a variable of int that holds 1: int num = 1; s = gtk_label_get_text(GTK_LABEL(label[num])); On 6 September 2014 09:32, Gary Kline wrote: > = > Organization: Thought Unlimited.

And what do you want to happen? when I try to output the const char *s by casting the buf, with is a string, "label1", it is NULL! Yes, no kidding. the next msg explains why. s = gtk_label_get_text(GTK_LABEL(labell); iv'e looked at the following code: label1 = gtk_label_new("1: This is the file name named talk.1.txt"); in another directory I have text files in /tmp/files/*; I think the files over there grab the 10 files; *if* I stick the output within gtk_label_new(). I think it may be a matter of putting these files together and grabbing the content of the talk.N.txt and putting them into gtk_label_new(). { I am not explaining anything to this list, but at least I know what I want to try } . > > On 09/05/14 21:12, Gary Kline wrote: > >= > >Organization: Thought Unlimited.
