sure there is.
GetTextINFrame ("FrameName")
should do it.
(note the quotes around your frameName as per usual.
note, Steven do you know about using control+I, when inside a function,
then tabbing once, and trying to locate certain functions from that big list
box,, by typing multiple letters to have it jump to them if they exist?
like if you do that, then type fast:
gettext
you'll see all the GetText functions that you can pick from etc.
Note, GetTextInRect can also be one that I have found useful,
if you don't wanna bother having to make the frame first etc, but in this
case, you gotta do a bit more manual fiddling regarding manually
interpreting the left, top, right, and bottom coords correctly, of the
rectangle you wanna make as your frame. I.e. when you define a frame, it
does that good stuff automatically for you. but when you do your own
getTextInRect coords for that function, it's best to check how the Frame has
decided to tweak those coordinates, inside the frames manager etc,
then employ that same strategy in your GetTextInRects. that's only if you
wanna bother with using that function instead.
there are some slight advantages with this method I reckon over the
GetTextInFrame, method, but, I won't go into them all here now.
