pane:get_text_from_region(start_x, start_y, end_x, end_y)#

Returns the text from the specified region.

• start_x and end_x are the starting and ending cell column, where 0 is the left-most cell
• start_y and end_y are the starting and ending row, expressed as a stable row index. Use pane:get_dimensions() to retrieve the currently valid stable index values for the top of scrollback and top of viewport.

The text within the region is unwrapped to its logical line representation, rather than the wrapped-to-physical-display-width.
