Gilbert, I wrote an awk script to do this in the past. I need to search for it now. Clue is to add 3 lines in the body of the awk. (line-1) use if statement and set a flag to 1 and "skip 1", if pattern1 matches with $0 and then (line-2) reset the flag to 0 and "skip 1", if the pattern2 matches with $0. And at the end (line-3) print $0, if the flag is tested with 1. Here flag is an awk variable. Let me know if you still need it and I can get it.

Problem = i may not use the tailfilter and skip=3, because the lines after pattern1 are variable in size.
