get_slice
Description:
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
get_text. Note that 0xFFFC can occur in normal text as well, so it is not a
reliable indicator that a pixbuf or widget is in the buffer.
Parameters:
| this | |
| start |
start of a range |
| end |
end of a range |
| include_hidden_chars |
whether to include invisible text |
Returns:
|
an allocated UTF-8 string |
