This might work for you (GNU sed):

sed -i -e '/> myoccupation/,/> mygrosssalary/{w newfile' -e 'd}' file

With awk:

awk '/> myoccupation/,/> mygrosssalary/' file

With sed:

sed -n '/> myoccupation/,/> mygrosssalary/p' file

And you can use output redirection to create another file, with

comand ... > newfile
