Text Information Dialog

Use the --text-info option to create a text information dialog.

The text information dialog supports the following options:

--filename=filename

Specifies a file that is loaded in the text information dialog.

--editable

Allows the displayed text to be edited. The edited text is returned to standard error when the dialog is closed.

The following example script shows how to create a text information dialog: 

        #!/bin/sh

        FILE=`zenity --file-selection \
          --title="Select a File"`

        case $? in
                 0)
                        zenity --text-info \
                          --title=$FILE \
                          --filename=$FILE \
                          --editable 2>/tmp/tmp.txt;;
                 1)
