I want to delete a line between selected lines using sed:
e.g. : Between "bus" to "pins", delete lines conaining "signal" word.
Input :

bus
direction
signal new
signal old
pins
signal ok
end

Desired Output:
bus
direction
pins
signal
end

Please tell how to do it

$ ruby -ne 'f=0 if $_[/pins/];f=1 if $_[/bus/]; next if f!=0 and $_[/signal/];puts $_' file
bus
direction
pins
signal ok
end
3 
# sed '/bus/,/pins/{/signal/d}' file
bus
direction
pins
signal ok
end
