如何在tkinter文本小部件中获取最后一行的内容（Python 3）

Question

I am working on a virtual console, which would use the systems builtin commands and then do the action and display output results on next line in console. This is all working, but how do I get the contents of the last line, and only the last line in the tkinter text widget? Thanks in advance. I am working in python 3. I have treed using text.get(text.linestart, text.lineend) To no avail. Have these been deprecated? It spits out an error saying that AttributeError: 'Text' object has no attribute 'linestart'

Answer 1

You can apply modifiers to the text widget indicies, such as linestart and lineend as well as adding and subtracting characters. The index after the last character is "end" .

Putting that all together, you can get the start of the last line with "end-1c linestart" .

Answer 2

Test widget has a see(index) method. text.see(END) will scroll the text to the last line.

Answer 3

Why not just retrieve the all the content from the textwidget using

some_text = text.get()

Then do some simple python text manipulation using

lines = some_text.split("\n")
last_line = lines[-1]
