Grab a portion of List<string>

Question

I have a List, looking like this:

some headline content a subheadline containing the keyword  1 2015-05-05 some data 2 2015-05-05 some data 3 2015-05-05 some data some content a subheadline containing another keyword  useless stuff 

So now I want to grab all the stuff between "keyword" and "another keyword". Maybe I should find the index of "keyword" and "another keyword" and use .GetRange(), but is there a more elegant way to do this with e.g. LINQ?

You can use SkipWhile and TakeWhile

var newList = list.SkipWhile(line => !line.Contains("keyword"))                   .Skip(1)                   .TakeWhile(line => !line.Contains("another keyword"))                   .ToList();
