Using tag method, set a background color first. You can use this color to highlight text later. E.g

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
my  $tx= $fr->Scrolled( 'Text', '-scrollbars' => 'e', '-background' => 'white',       

  )->pack( -fill => 'both', -expand => 1, -side => 'bottom' );
 
$tx->tag(qw/configure color1 -background yellow/); ##yellow for highlight

$tx->insert('insert', "This is ");

$tx->insert('insert',"highlighted text",'color1');

$tx->insert('insert', "\n ");

I dont understand what you want exatly ,but I give u 2 tips, I hope that help u

u can select a text widget in TK(set the cursor in this widget):

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 use Tk;    

$mw->maxsize(500,800);                                

$mw->minsize(500,800);

$text=$mw->Text( -width=>65,

                 -height=>5,

         );

$text->place(-x => 20,-y => 700);    

$text->focus;    #set cursor to the chosen text widget

When u want take a line from text widget do this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 use Tk;    

$mw->maxsize(500,800);                                

$mw->minsize(500,800);

$text=$mw->Text( -width=>65,

                 -height=>5,

         );

$text->place(-x => 20,-y => 700);    

#then u write to text widget

$r=$text->get('1.0','1.0 lineend');       #take the first line from text

Arepi

u can also many line take(u think that field?)

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 @r=$text->get(’1.0’,’1.0 lineend’,’2.0’,’2.0 lineend’);

#this get first second... lines from your text widget

results:
$r[0]="first line"
$r[1]="second line"
ect.
