copy textbox's content in a variable

You know, I only wrote pseudo code. You can’t grab the text from a textfield that is empty.

Before that someone has to type something in right?

Did you read the doc entry about native textfields? You can find it here:

http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/native/newTextField.html

I don’t really know how dto help you, cause I don’t know what you already did. Can you already put text into that textfield via the keyboard or at which point are you?

i know this page… ok I try to explain in a better way

1 i need to a text box to insert a value with keyboard, but it is not a problem because it’s so easy to build a textbox

2 after this, i want take the content of that textbox and copy it in a variable,for example with a button event

3 at the end i want to visualize that content in another line…such as in a local testo=display.newText…do you understand?
