_StringBetween Question

[Mercury049]

I have looked at it in the help file as much as I can. But I'm still not getting it to work, I must be doing something wrong somehow, because when I output the data returned from it, I'm getting a blank. What I'm trying to do is basically, pull the source in from a page, read through the source for certain key elements, once they're found, load them up into a variable to be used later. Please help if you can.

I know it's grabbing the data successfully because I do a ClipPut and then send that data to a notepad or whatever and I see that the source is indeed there. So I know it has data to read from when searching for the string.

Thanks!

func getDataProcess()

$isActive = WinWaitActive("Manual Queue Detail - Microsoft Internet Explorer","",3)

If $isActive = "1" Then
    
$winTitle = "Manual Queue Detail - Microsoft Internet Explorer"
$hWin = WinGetHandle($winTitle)

;connect to window and read source
$openedIEWindow = _IEAttach($hWin,"HWnd")
$sourceText = _IEDocReadHtml($openedIEWindow)

ClipPut($sourceText)

$nameWeNeed = _StringBetween($sourceText,"<SPAN id=lblFirstName>","</SPAN>")

MsgBox(1,"first name",$nameWeNeed,5)

Else
    
MsgBox(1,"Status","nope",3)

EndIf
