[SOLVED] Unix Shell sed - don't print last pattern

Issue

I try to figure out, how to use sed to get the lines between to patterns (in my case parts of html tags) without printing the second pattern. The problem occurs if having 2+ matches.

I try to explain with a example: File:

...
Keyword #1
animal
rainbow
train
Keyword #2
...
Keyword #1
female
lawyer
monkey
rainbow
Keyword #2

My expected result:

Keyword #1
animal
rainbow
train
Keyword #1
female
lawyer
monkey
rainbow

So is it possible to ignore every "last pattern" after match?

Second Example:

I am using the opening pattern for finding the next keyword. But its also at the statement with Keyword#1...

<p href=... Keyword#1 ....

Keyword#2 is  "<p"

I am using the

<p TAG 

to define the last pattern

Solution

This awk may do:

awk '/Keyword #1/ {f=1} /Keyword #2/ {f=0} f' file
Keyword #1
animal
rainbow
train
Keyword #1
female
lawyer
monkey
rainbow

It will use a start keyword and a stop keyword.
