I'm trying to open a .txt file with Python. I'm trying to fill a Tkinter text widget with the files contents.
However with the following snippet, when I try to open the files contents and put it in a the text widget self.Te, nothing happens. Any clues?
Snippet:
self.Open = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(initialdir='C:')
text_file = open(self.Open, "r")
# self.Te is a text widget
self.Te.insert('1.0', text_file.read())
Here is a working example:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from Tkinter import *
from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename
class App:
def __init__(self, master):
frame = Frame(master)
frame.pack()
self.button = Button(frame, text="QUIT", command=frame.quit)
self.button.pack(side=BOTTOM)
self.text = Text(frame)
self.text.pack(side=TOP)
self.choosen = askopenfilename(initialdir='~')
self.text.insert(END, open(self.choosen).read())
root = Tk()
app = App(root)
root.mainloop()
See also Text widget method documentation:
... Insert text at the given position (typically
INSERTorEND) ...
