Deleting a block of text

I have a text file in which I am trying to delete a block of text, from one
text word all the way through another text word (many lines of text with in
between).

How would I do that?
Do I have to create a new file, write output from the input read. Search for
the first marker and then stop writing until after detecting the end marker,
and then start writing again to the output file again?

Is this a good approach? Does anyone have any suggestions or know of any
functions to simplify this?
