MySQL extract text between two words on a single line

Hi Guys,

Can someone help me with a way to extract text between two words on a single line.

For example if the file has below content I want to extract all text between b and f inclusive of b and f. Aparently sed does this but does it line by line and I guess it cannot read word by word.

a b c d e f -> this is single line

Thanks!
