I need the code ,cuz  I am only familiar with Python ,so it would be better to give me the code written in Python .
You can also give me the code in other programming language   ,thanks in advance :)

	Chrome is a browser, is it not... If you want to get the text in
Python, you have to write the equivalent of a browser -- something that
parses the returned HTML message, extracting the parts you want.

To get a selection, you can either wait till it's copied to the
clipboard, and get it from there, or you can write a addon for the
application.  Since Chrome accepts addons, I suggest you research that
angle.  Probably mozilla.org is the place to start, and function

nsISelectionController::GetSelection() might be some place to examine.

You might find some hints in

if you are going to work with the clipboard, realize that it works quite
differently from one OS to another, and even from one desktop manager to
another.

What you need is a way to get selected text from wherever it comes. The
way to do this depends on your graphical environment. If you use X, i'd make a
a quick and dirty call to xclip -o, although there must be a pure python
implementation which in turn depends on the python framework you play
with (gtk/qt/wx/tk/...).

Short answer is : it depends on your system, and it may be easier and more
portable if you use a graphical toolkit.

cheers.

You can probably use selenium to do that.

i think you need to explain your  requirement further
also what do you want to do to the text once you have it?
