gtkTextBufferGetSlice {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkTextBufferGetSlice

### 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 `gtkTextBufferGetText`. 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.

### Usage

    gtkTextBufferGetSlice(object, start, end, include.hidden.chars = TRUE)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GtkTextBuffer`
``start`` | start of a range
``end`` | end of a range
``include.hidden.chars`` | whether to include invisible text

### Value

[character] an allocated UTF-8 string
