Thanks, that works! But I can't seem to apply it to my program. Well, I
added it to my code and I can print it to the terminal, so I know it
does something (and it does correctly), but after reading lots of
examples I can't seem to fix it with my entry-box. It just doesn't complete.
Anyone with a working example?
