Nonsense!  Put the cursor on the first character of the arbitrary text
block and do a yank using a regular expression target.  Everything up
to but not including the regular expression can be duplicated anywhere
you like, even in another file if named buffers are used.  All this works
with delete as well if the intent is to move the block.
