Yeah, this would be a problem. To get the exact page breaks you want,
you might want to consider investing the time to insert XML-like tags in
your text. Something like

<page_1>
...
</page_1>

<page_2>
...
</page_2>

Then, even without an XML parser, it would be easy enough to get the
section you were after, witch either a regular expression or string
handling functions.

Just a thought, I've never actually implemented this type of setup.
