Answer
Hello Priya.

If I understand correctly, your program has a window with a text field in it and the user types something into the text field and you want your program to read what is in the text field. Is that correct ?

How to do that depends on what technology you are using. Is it Windows or Linux.
If Windows, is the program written with Microsoft Foundation Classes, Microsoft dot Net, Qt, or some Turbo C Interface library?
If Linux, is the program written with X windows and Motif?

Each technology has its own programming interface so I cannot tell you how to do it.

Also, I don't know how to do anything with Turbo C or CodeBuilder.

You can follow-up with more details.

Best regards
