Use sed to print selected lines within a range

Consider the simplified file

AAA
BBB
CCC1
DDD
EEE
CCC2
DDD
FFF
GGG
CCC3
HHH

I can pick out the range EEE to FFF with

sed -n '/EEE/,/FFF/p'

Suppose though that I want to print any line containing C but only within the matching range. I can pipe the result from sed through grep

sed -n '/EEE/,/FFF/p' | grep 'C'

I could also do the range and match in a little awk script (or perl, python, etc.). But how would I do this using just one invocation of sed?

Use a block in which you tell sed to only print when it sees C:

sed -n '/EEE/,/FFF//C/p'
