Question K Shell Help needed
Could someone tell me the code for doing the below inside a k shell?

I have a file file below:


Code:
$ more file1
>>>>>
AAA
BBB
CCC
<<<<<
>>>>>
DDD
EEE
FFF
<<<<<

I want the lines between ">>>>>" and "<<<<<" to be one line like below:

AAA BBB CCC
DDD EEE FFF

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
