I know that 

sed -n '/PATTERN1/,/PATTERN2/p' filename

will print everything between pattern 1 & 2, but what if I only want the
first occurence of these patterns in the file? I know I can pipe the above
statement to sed '/PATTERN2/q' but there has got to be a way to do this
in one sed process. Thanks.
