Installing outlet from light switch source

[Frank Homeowner]

I am a not an electrician but I will install a wall socket or other electrical. Please excuse this ignorant question. I want to install an outlet for a wall flatscreen. Met nearest supply to tap into is a light switch. When I remove the switch there are two wires, obviously breaking the circuit for the light. Question…so if I pull this box out of the wall I should be able to access other wires?

If you took the cover off and just seen the 2 switch legs and no white wire then no you can’t tap of of your switch
