Use sed to delete lines between text phrases

How to remove lines from stdin between and including the 2 lines as fields in a sed expression:

sed "/textline1/,/textline2/d"

This will delete from the input all lines between a line containing the text ‘textline1’ and ‘textline2’.

If you have a / char in either textline entry then you should replace it with the two characters inside the quotes of: ‘\/’
Being “backslash forwardslash” <- with no space between the characters. FYI, Richard.
