Check Javadoc about Text class. It has two methods: toString() and getValue(). But toString() returns first 70 characters only.

So, use getValue() instead:

String value = someText.getValue(); 

Contructor of the Text class supports initialization with a string value. And (as Javadoc says), this object cannot be modified after construction.
