gtk-text-iter-text (start end)

start -- a gtk-text-iter instance with the start of a range
end -- a gtk-text-iter instance with the end of a range

A string with characters from the text buffer.

Returns a string with the text in the given range.

If the range contains non-text elements such as images, the character and byte offsets in the returned string will not correspond to character and byte offsets in the text buffer. If you want offsets to correspond, see the function gtk-text-iter-slice.
