This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
>How can I search for a phrase in a text file (.PRG), seach for a second phrase and copy/paste all the text inbetween to another text file. Basically, I want to programmatically take portions of code and copy them to the bottom of another file.

Take a look at STREXTRACT function, for example:

lcFirstFont = STREXTRACT(lcHTML, '[font]', '[/font]', 1)

The delimiters can be any text you want
