Thanks!
That fixed my 'custom_command' problem. Here's the working code:
void on_executebutton_clicked (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
gchar *custom_command;
gchar *entry_wfo1, *entry_wfo2;
/* GET THE BACKUP WFO SELECTION */
entry_wfo1 = gtk_combo_box_get_active_text(GTK_COMBO_BOX(combobox1));
/* GET THE LOCALIZED WFO SELECTION */
entry_wfo2 = gtk_combo_box_get_active_text(GTK_COMBO_BOX(combobox2));
/* GET THE CUSTOM COMMAND */
custom_command =
g_strdup(gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(custom_command_entry)));
g_strstrip(custom_command);
if (custom_command == NULL || g_utf8_strlen(custom_command, -1) <= 0) {
g_print("entry1 = %s :: entry2 = %s \n", entry_wfo1,
entry_wfo2);
} else {
g_print("Custom Command: %s\n", custom_command);
}
gtk_widget_show(confirmdialog);
g_free(custom_command);
}
