    Well, we have some text

    $> cat ./text
text
some text
string1
some text again
and that
string2
done
this should not be printed

    And we want to get the lines between string1 and string2. So awk is the best tool that might be used there.

    $> cat ./btw
/string1/ { printing = 1 }
/string2/ { print $0; printing = 0 }
printing  { print $0 }

    Usage:

    $> awk -f ./btw ./text
string1
some text again
and that
string2
