The text you want can be obtained with the StringBean if Collapse is false.

When collapse is true, there is a bug in the StringBean.
I've logged this as bug #1496863 StringBean collapse() adds extra 
whitespace 
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1496863&group_id=24399&atid=381399> 
so you can track it.
