Visible text in a cell

How can we get the visible text of a cell so as to be able to move the remaining hidden text in another cell ?
I am getting the text in the said cell from the user using a form interface and would also like to set the max text length of the textbox equal to what is allowed in a cell (max capacity of a cell). The textbox of course is multiline.
