Alex,

 You can also use regular expressions to do this:

  get matchText(tData,"(?s)FIXED WORDINGS HERE(.*?)ANOTHER FIXED WORDINGS
HERE",tVal)

and now 'tVal' contains the data between the two sections. If you want to
actually start on the next *line* after FIXED WORDINGS HERE and end at the
line before ANOTHER FIXED WORDINGS HERE, you can do this:

  get matchText(tData,"(?s)FIXED WORDINGS HERE\n(.*?)\nANOTHER FIXED
WORDINGS HERE",tVal)

HTH,
