Text Entry in Zenity

I am trying to do a delete function inside a zenity entry box . I would like to know how can I store the path given by the user inside the entry box in a variable or how can I use it . Thanks here is my code

#!/bin/bash
function Ddate() { zenity --info \ --title "Date and Time" \ --text "Today is $(date)"
}
function Dcalendar() { zenity --calendar \ --title "Calendar" \
}
function Ddelete() { zenity --entry \ --entry-text "Ex: home/knoppix/" \ --text "Enter a path" \ --title "Delete" \
}
while true;
do
choice="$(zenity --height 275 --width 450 \
--list \
--title="Menu" \
--column="Function" --column="Description" \ Date 'Display the actual date and time.' \ Calendar 'Display an interactive calendar.' \ Delete 'Let you delete a file.' \ Exit 'To quit this script.')"
case $choice in Date) Ddate;; Calendar) Dcalendar;; Delete) Ddelete;; Exit) break;;

Usually if you want insert the data in a variable from "zenity" you can try this example :

NAME=$( zenity --entry --text="type your name" )
if [ $? = 0 ] # check if the user click ok on the zenity form
then echo "Hello $NAME"
else echo "the user didn't click ok button"
fi

I hope this helps.
