This works for me...
I used a quick stack with fld 1 and fld 2 and 1 button
------- copy from here
on getChunk
  put fld 1 into  sorce
  put "(?si)("&quote&"edit-1.*edit-5.....)" into regExStr
  put matchchunk(sorce,regExStr, charPos1,charPos2) into success
  if success is true then
    put char charPos1 to charPos2 of sorce into dest
  else
    answer "did not find the edit string you were looking for"
    exit to top
    end if
  answer "your gift is behind door number 2"
  put dest into fld 2
  breakpoint
end getChunk
------------end copy
