Too lazy for a full example, look at this demo code in the debugger

DB<72> map {if ($x=(/b/../d/)) { $out[$x]=$_; $last=$x }} a..e,a..e, +a..b,1..3,d..e; DB<73> x @out[1..$last] 0 'b' 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 'd' DB<74>

$x is actually a count of the flip-flop match and will be reset 3 times.

we keep the last max $x in $last

you only need to END{print @out[1..$last] } in your one-liner to eject just these last lines.

assuming PATTERN2 and PATTERN3 are similar

>perl -ne"if ($x=(/PATTERN1/.../PATTERN?/)) { $out[$x]=$_; $last=$x; } +; END{ print @out[1..$last] }" input PATTERN1 SOME INFO TEXT4 TEXT5 TEXT6 PATTERN3 SOME INFO C:\tmp\files>
