I'm looking for a utility that will do a search and replace on blocks of
text in a large file. The blocks of text are about a page long. In some
cases, the text is replaced with space, and in some cases it is replaced
with other text.

I have found free utilities that do a good job of replacing lines or
words in one or multiple files, but have not found one that does a good
job at replacing large blocks of text.
