How To Save Text From A Text-widget Tkinter To A .doc Using Asksaveasfile?

I want to save some stuff I entered in a Text widget to a .txt or .doc format, using an asksaveasfilename dialog box. After this I want it to open in resp. Notepad or MS Word. from

Solution 1:

You can see the problem if you add print name, e.g.

C:/Users/jsharpe/Downloads/testing

note that no extension has been added - I only entered "testing". The filetypes argument is more useful for limiting the user's selection of existing files, it won't add the appropriate extension if the user doesn't supply one.

You can set a defaultextension for the cases where the user doesn't enter an extension, but this won't reflect the type selected in the drop-down (e.g. if you set defaultextension=".txt" it won't be .doc even if the user chooses that option from filetypes).

name = asksaveasfilename(defaultextension=".txt",
                         filetypes=[("Text files",".txt"),
                                    ("Word files",".doc")],
                         initialdir="dir",
                         title="Save as")

(Note that alphabetical argument order makes life easier as you add more and more options)

---

On a side note, you (still!) don't close the file, which could cause issues - I'd suggest using the with context manager for file handling:

with open(name, "w") as data:
    data.write("text from text widget")

Solution 2:

Just run this code it will work:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
name=[]*1000
surname=[]*1000
email=[]*1000
password=[]*1000
cpassword=[]*1000
phonenum=[]*1000

    name.append(e1.get())
    surname.append(e2.get())
    email.append(e3.get())
