How to select lines between two marker patterns which may occur multiple times with awk/sed

Question

Using awk or sed how can I select lines which are occurring between two different marker patterns? There may be multiple sections marked with these

Answer 1

something like this works for me:

file.awk:

BEGIN {
    record=0
}

/^abc$/ {
    record=1
}

/^mno$/ {
    record=0;
    print "s="s;
    s=""
}

!/^abc|mno$/ {
    if (record==1) {
        s = s"\n"$0
    }   
}

using: awk -f file.awk data...

edit: O_o fedorqui solution is way better/prettier than mine.
