How do you reference the value in a TextArea from user code?

Hi all.   I seem to be missing something fundamental here and I'm clearly looking in any direction but the right one for the appropriate information.  I want to be able to reference on screen values and use them for calculations in my code.  For example, I have 4 TextAreas on my GUI screen.  Each TextArea has 2 associated buttons (from which I can increment/decrement the values that are currently being displayed).  I need a pointer/reference to each of these values as arguments/parameters in my user functions. How do I do this?  I have been looking at the getWildcard() documentation but I can't seem to find an example of how it is used.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks.
