Simple awk problem II
Hello;

Trying to figure out how to keep just the contents between the two search lines:
Code:
awk '/regexp_1/ ,/regexp_2/'

I do not want lines containing regexp_1 and regexp_2 in the output.

Thank you for any ideas

That did not quite work as I am looking for contents between the two expressions
but NOT the expressions themselves

Thank you
