How to Strip lines off Streamed EDI Output

Attached is a streamed EDI ANSI X12 output where the segment terminator/delimiter is a tilde ~ character.

Is it possible to do the following pseudo-code in a unix script (using either sed, awk and/or grep)?
Open file StreamedOutput.txt
Search for ISA and delete the data up to the tilde ~ char
Search for GS and delete the data up to the tilde ~ char
And write the ‘middle’ bit of data to the same filename.

In other words I want to strip off the first (ISA) and last segment (GS) of this file all up to the tilde and leave me the bit of data in the middle.

I tried to use the following script but not having much joy;
x=`grep -n "ISA" StreamedOutput | cut -d "~" -f1`
y=`grep -n "GS" StreamedOutput | cut -d "~" -f1`
a=`echo ${x} + 1 | bc`
b=`echo ${y} -1 | bc`
echo $x $y $a $b
sed -ne '${a},${b}p' StreamedOutput


If I unstreamed the input data it looks like;
ISA*HDR*START*US*0050000013~
BA1*Y**A*US*0050000013***TN****Federal Express~
YNQ*RZ*Y~

And the result I want is;
