Clearing a Text Widget

Kane Bonnette

Does anyone know how the clear the text from a Tkinter Text Widget? The
delete(0, END) trick that works for Entry widgets doesn't work for Text

I get "0 is an invalid index" when i try to do so

Thanks in advance

In case anyone's wondering, you must use 0.0 instead of 0 on a Text Widget

In fact, you should use 1.0, which means line 1, column 0 (lines are numbered from 1 in text widgets).
