如何将数据从一个Tkinter Text小部件复制到另一个？

Question

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.title("Whois Tool")

text = Text()
text1 = Text()

text1.config(width=15, height=1)
text1.pack()

def button1():
    text.insert(END, text1)

b = Button(root, text="Enter", width=10, height=2, command=button1)
b.pack()

scrollbar = Scrollbar(root)
scrollbar.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y)
text.config(width=60, height=15)
text.pack(side=LEFT, fill=Y)
scrollbar.config(command=text.yview)
text.config(yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)

root.mainloop()

How can I add the data from a text widget to another text widget?

For example, I'm trying to insert the data in text1 to text , but it is not working.

Answer 1

You are trying to insert a Text reference at the end of another Text widget (does not make much sense), but what you actually want to do is to copy the contents of a Text widget to another:

def button1():
    text.insert(INSERT, text1.get("1.0", "end-1c"))

Not an intuitive way to do it in my opinion. "1.0" means line 1 , column 0 . Yes, the lines are 1-indexed and the columns are 0-indexed.

Note that you may not want to import the entire Tkinter package, using from Tkinter import * . It will likely lead to confusion down the road. I would recommend using:

import Tkinter
text = Tkinter.Text()

Another option is:

import Tkinter as tk
text = tk.Text()

You can choose a short name (like "tk" ) of your choice. Regardless, you should stick to one import mechanism for the library.
