TextBuffer.getText
string getText(gtk.text_iter.TextIter start, gtk.text_iter.TextIter end, bool includeHiddenChars)Returns the text in the range [start,end). Excludes undisplayed text (text marked with tags that set the invisibility attribute) if include_hidden_chars is false. Does not include characters representing embedded images, so byte and character indexes into the returned string do not correspond to byte and character indexes into the buffer. Contrast with [gtk.text_buffer.TextBuffer.getSlice].
Parameters
start | start of a range |
end | end of a range |
includeHiddenChars | whether to include invisible text |
Returns
an allocated UTF-8 string
