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 } .

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 kl...@thought.org wrote: = Organization: Thought Unlimited.
