print lines between <pattern1> and <pattern2>.

assuming pattren 1 is 'select'
pattern 2 is 'from'

a crude way of printing the lines between pattern1 & pattern2

Code:
 
v1=$(grep -n 'select'  x.txt | awk -F ":" '{ print $1}')
v2=$(grep -n 'from' x.txt | awk -F ":" '{ print $2}' )
 
sed -n ' '"$v1"','"$v2"' p' x.txt

it will print lines between pattern1 & pattern2
