Copy selected contents from file

I want to capture contents of a file between 2 strings into another file

for eg all lines in between the keywords "start log" and "end log" should be copied into another file

Here's a start:

echo "foo
bar
baz
quux
blorp" | awk '/bar/,/quux/ { print }'

Hi

Will this work from command prompt by just giving input and o/p file names ?

Sure...

awk '/bar/,/quux/ { print }' file1 > file2

using sed

sed "/start log/,/end log/w filenm" orig_file
