Hi!

From a file like this one :

hello
...
PATTERN1
...
lines between patterns
..
PATTERN2
...

I would like to extract only the lines between patterns, probably with awk I think?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Some possibilities:

sed -n '/PATTERN1/,/PATTERN2/p' file

awk '/PATTERN1/{f=1}/PATTERN2/{f=0;print}f' file

Can we modify it so that patterns dont appear in the output?

Thanks again!
