Python Tkinter text file writer: Create and save text files
Write a Python program using Tkinter that allows the user to create a text file and write content to it using a Text widget.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
Explanation:
In the exercise above -
- Import "tkinter" as "tk" and "filedialog" for creating the GUI components and opening the folder dialog.
- Define the "save_as_text_file()" function, which opens the file dialog using "filedialog.asksaveasfilename()". This dialog allows the user to specify a file name and location for saving the text file. If a file path is provided, it attempts to save the Text widget content to that file and updates a status label.
- Create the main Tkinter window, set its title, and create a Text widget for entering text content.
- Create a "Save As" button that calls the "save_as_text_file()" function when clicked.
- Create a status label to display messages about file saving or errors.
- The main event loop, root.mainloop(), starts the Tkinter application.
