How to "retrieve" only useful information in a long list

[alex wu]

Ken,
   
  This is really great!!!!  What a poweful regular expression of RR!  I always think that PERL has the most poweful regular expression.  I need to learn more about the regular expression of RR now.
   
  Thanks again for your help.

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,
