  You can use editor.getText(); to get the code in a tool. Is that what you wanted?

  That just gets the code in the selected tab. I want the whole code in every tab. Any more help?

  Processing PDE organises program code by tabs and this is reflected in the API.

  Start with the Editor class object

  Editor editor;
  

  Then get the current sketch

  Sketch sketch = editor.getSketch();
  

  Then find out the number of tabs

  int nbrTabs = sketch.getCodeCount();
  

  Then iterator over each tab get the code and do something with it.

  SketchCode sketchCode;
  String tabText;
  for(int i = 0; i < nbrTabs; i++){
    sketchCode = sketch.getCode(i);
    tabText = sketchCode.getProgram();
    System.out.println(tabText);
  }
  

  NOTE: code was typed straight into comment so maybe syntax errors
