Hi Steve,

Following is the code which i have written to display a GUI textbox
and get any name entered by the user and search the path of this
filename and then list it into an CSV file.

For this i initially created an textbox widget and added an button to
it.
Now, i have entered a filename (like NEWS.txt) in the text boz,
as you can see when i press the button i retrieve the text and then
search its filepath.
currently i am printing this filepath on the shell.


from Tkinter import *
import os
from os.path import realpath, exists, abspath
import tkMessageBox
import Tkinter
#import filePath

class GUIFrameWork(Frame):
    """This is the GUI"""

    def __init__(self,master=None):
        """Initialize yourself"""

        """Initialise the base class"""
        Frame.__init__(self,master)

        """Set the Window Title"""
        self.master.title("Enter Text to search")

        """Display the main window"
        with a little bit of padding"""
        self.grid(padx=10,pady=10)
        self.CreateWidgets()

    def CreateWidgets(self):

        self.enText = Entry(self)
        self.enText.grid(row=0, column=1, columnspan=3)



        """Create the Button, set the text and the
        command that will be called when the button is clicked"""
        self.btnDisplay = Button(self, text="Display!",
command=self.Display)
        self.btnDisplay.grid(row=0, column=4)

    def Display(self):
        """Called when btnDisplay is clicked, displays the contents of
self.enText"""
        filename = self.enText.get()
        if os.path.exists(os.path.abspath(filename)):
            print os.path.abspath(filename)
        else:
            print "Not found"
        #tkMessageBox.showinfo("Text", "You typed: %s" %
os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(filename)))

        #filepath.mydir(self.enText.get())


if __name__ == "__main__":
    guiFrame = GUIFrameWork()
    guiFrame.mainloop()





User Input: NEWS.txt
Output: Not Found (though this file is actually present)
