I think not.
I have a file say like this

ABC asassadfasdf asdfasdf asdfasdf CBA hhhhhhhhhhjjjjjjjjjjioioioi
sodifs
sdfsd
ABC
dasdfas aasdfa
njnjn CBA

and I want to get

' asassadfasdf asdfasdf asdfasdf '
'dasdfas aasdfa'
'njnjn'

where I added apostrophes to see the spaces on indivial lines. Simply:
give me everything that is between delimiters (ABC and CBA).
