Hello Arnie,

I can't help you with the text extraction part, but hopefully I can
shed some light on the pattern match.
I'm guessing you have some delimiters that you know are at the
beginning and end of the section of text you want to extract, correct?
If that's the case, then substitute your beginning string for
"beginning" and your end string for "end"
Now the regexp should look something like:
(?i)(beginning(.*\n)*.*end\n)
So this *should* search for:
beginning - Whatever your starting string was
(.*\n) - Any number of characters followed by a newline
(.*\n)* - Repeat this any number of times
.*end\n - search for any number of characters finished by your end
string and a newline.

Well I hope my namesake isn't too disappointed with this attempt. :)
