Smalltalk - Converting text object to string
-

Question
Hi I have text editor widget in smalltalk (visual works) that returns a text object, however I want the text returned to be handled as a string object.
How do you parse a text object as a string?
Solution
if Text
and String
are different classes in VW Smalltalk (which I don't have easy access to at the moment), see if you can call yourText asString
or perhaps String newFrom: yourText
or maybe yourText as: String
. Most of these would work in Squeak Smalltalk.
OTHER TIPS
You send #string to the Text object
