thanks, it works. how would I fix the same problem in sed though?

Code:
sed '/text/,/newtext/ d' filename > filename

ends up deleting everything in the file.

Code:
echo `sed '/text/,/newtext/ d' filename < filename` > filename

works but deletes the spaces again. What's the mistake I've made this time?
