How to store the input from the text box in python?

Question

I want to make a program that show me the divisors of the number introduced in a text box using python tkinter GUI and store the results into a plain text file.

I don't how to get the value from the text box. I understood that is something linked with get() , I read something but I still don't get it.

Here is the code:

from tkinter import *

def create_file():
    file_object = open("C:/Users/valis/Desktop/Divisors.txt","w+")


def evaluate():
    show_after= Label(text= "Check your Desktop !")
    show_after.pack(pady=2, anchor=SW)
    create_file()


#Windows size and Title
window = Tk()
window.title("Show Divisors")
window.geometry("300x100")

message = Label(window, text="Enter a number : ")
message.pack(pady=2, anchor=NW)

textbox_input = Text(window,height=1, width=11)
textbox_input.pack(padx= 2,pady= 2, anchor=NW)

window.mainloop()

The code isn't complete, so what should I do ?

As you said, you will use the get() function but with some additional attributes.

If we have a text box textbox_input, then you can return its input using this line:

test_input = textbox_input.get("1.0",END)

The first part, "1.0" means that the input should be read from line one, character zero (ie: the very first character). END is an imported constant which is set to the string "end". The END part means to read until the end of the text box is reached.
