in reply to Between START .. END

# if START and END occur only once, we could lock it with m?? 

while (<DATA>) {
      next unless my $count = ?start?../end/;
      next if $count == 1;
      print;
}

    Here's a regex that would do the trick.

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

while (<DATA>) {
    $_ =~ tr/!@#$%^&*//d;  # will you encounter funky chars?
    next unless ($_ =~/(^\d+)/);
    print $_;
}

__DATA__
START 
1 
2 
3! 
4
5
END

START
1*
2
3
4
5
6
END
