Brian,
In JAWS script, try the GetTextBetween function.

Subject: [jawsscripts] How to capture text between two points in an editor?

This probably sounds like a stupid question, but here it goes...
I've got the x and y coordinance of two specific points within an editor, the x 
and y for the beginning of the text, and the x and y for the end of the text.
Capturing the text between the points within a rectangle doesn't work, because 
if the selected text is all of one line, and part of another line, the vertical 
position doesn't encompass all of the selected text.

Plus this selected text isn't recognized by the GetSelectedText function, so in 
case you're wondering, this is why I'm trying to write a workaround.

Hopefully I'm missing a function specifically designed for this purpose, but I 
haven't had much luck locating it. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bryan
