Hi Steve, Following is the code which i have written to display a GUI textbox and get any name entered by the user and search the path of this filename and then list it into an CSV file. For this i initially created an textbox widget and added an button to it. Now, i have entered a filename (like NEWS.txt) in the text boz, as you can see when i press the button i retrieve the text and then search its filepath. currently i am printing this filepath on the shell. from Tkinter import * import os from os.path import realpath, exists, abspath import tkMessageBox import Tkinter #import filePath class GUIFrameWork(Frame): """This is the GUI""" def __init__(self,master=None): """Initialize yourself""" """Initialise the base class""" Frame.__init__(self,master) """Set the Window Title""" self.master.title("Enter Text to search") """Display the main window" with a little bit of padding""" self.grid(padx=10,pady=10) self.CreateWidgets() def CreateWidgets(self): self.enText = Entry(self) self.enText.grid(row=0, column=1, columnspan=3) """Create the Button, set the text and the command that will be called when the button is clicked""" self.btnDisplay = Button(self, text="Display!", command=self.Display) self.btnDisplay.grid(row=0, column=4) def Display(self): """Called when btnDisplay is clicked, displays the contents of self.enText""" filename = self.enText.get() if os.path.exists(os.path.abspath(filename)): print os.path.abspath(filename) else: print "Not found" #tkMessageBox.showinfo("Text", "You typed: %s" % os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(filename))) #filepath.mydir(self.enText.get()) if __name__ == "__main__": guiFrame = GUIFrameWork() guiFrame.mainloop() User Input: NEWS.txt Output: Not Found (though this file is actually present) Regards, Sudhir -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
