How to wrap text within text box - pav1983 - May-15-2020
Hi all,
I need some help with this project. I cannot find the command to wrap text that I've already imputted into the widget. What I want to do get rid of line breaks when I push the 'wrap' button.
Here is my code so far.
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import scrolledtext
import textwrap
window = Tk()
window.title("Welcome to LikeGeeks app")
window.geometry('500x500')
txt = scrolledtext.ScrolledText(window,width=50,height=20)
txt.grid(column=0,row=0)
btn1 = Button(window,text='Clear', command=lambda: txt.delete(1.0,END))
btn2 = Button(window,text='Wrap', command=lambda: textwrap)
btn1.grid(column=4, row=15)
btn2.grid(column=8, row=15)
window.mainloop()

Please show the complete code without attachments.
Generally to wrap the text in a widget I use the following:
widget_name.config(wrap=WORD)

It is the complete code. It's just the wrapping part I'm stuck on (line 17). The attachment is the exact same thing as the code, so I took it down.
Just for clarity, I am looking to cut and paste a text with broken lines into the program and then fill the box with the text (eliminate the line breaks).

Just for anyone who's interested, here is the solution:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import scrolledtext
import textwrap
window = Tk()
window.title("Text Wrap Tool")
window.geometry('600x500')
txt = scrolledtext.ScrolledText(window,width=50,height=20)
def doit():
data = txt.get(1.0, END).replace('\n', ' ')
txt.delete(1.0, END)
txt.insert(INSERT, data)
t = Text()
t.config(wrap=WORD)
txt.grid(column=0,row=0)
btn1 = Button(window,text='Clear', command=lambda: txt.delete(1.0,END))
btn2 = Button(window,text='Wrap', command=lambda: doit())
btn1.grid(column=4, row=15)
btn2.grid(column=8, row=15)
window.mainloop()
