[Pythoncard-users] Import a file in TextArea

[anrxc <an...@hi...>]

Hi, I have a little issue maybe someone can help me out.

I created a MultiColumnList and a TextArea.
In the MultiColumnList I display a list of files in some directory that
contains txt files:
def on_initialize(self, event):
    lista = os.listdir(pkDir)
    lista.sort()
    self.components.packs.Append(lista)

And upon selecting a file in the list I want to display it's contents in
the TextArea:
def on_packs_select(self, event):
    base = self.components
    redovi = base.packs.getStringSelection()
    red = redovi[0]

    os.chdir(pkDir)
    f = file(red, 'r')
    for line in f.readlines():
        base.descs.text = line


So this works, but I only get displayed the last line in the file.

If I add "print line" to the end of the function I can see the whole file
being printed to my terminal, so why TextArea displays only the last line?

Best regards, Adrian C.
