Method
Gtk.TextBuffer.get_slice
Declaration [src]
char*
gtk_text_buffer_get_slice (
  GtkTextBuffer* buffer,
  const GtkTextIter* start,
  const GtkTextIter* end,
  gboolean include_hidden_chars
)
Description [src]
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.
The returned string includes a 0xFFFC character whenever the
buffer contains embedded images, so byte and character indexes
into the returned string do correspond to byte and character
indexes into the buffer. Contrast with gtk_text_buffer_get_text().
Note that 0xFFFC can occur in normal text as well, so it is not a
reliable indicator that a paintable or widget is in the buffer.

| end | GtkTextIter | 
| end of a range | |
| Ownership is not transferred to the callee | |
| include_hidden_chars | gboolean | 
| whether to include invisible text |
