Sorry, I forgot to escape the square brackets and the slashes:

Code:
sed -n '/\[11\/10\/08 8:43:58:610 EST\]/,/\[11\/10\/08 8:44:44:340 EST\]/p'

Thanks guys!

I was needing to do this very thing to extract the RSA Key from a converted pfx file but I forgot the syntax in sed.

sed -n '/^-----BEGIN RSA/,/^END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----/p' file1 > file2
