in reply to Re^2: Getting selection from Tkx text
in thread Getting selection from Tkx text

$text->get(qw/ sel.first sel.last/) works if i highlight the text after i find it, but Tkx::FindBar already highlights the text so i should only have to hit enter to put it in a variable. i have setup my text widget to bind to enter. ex: $text->g_bind('<Return>',sub{ name = $text->get(qw/sel.first sel.last/);print "$name\n"});
