Removing is the easy part you have to think about how you gone search/locate this unwanted part of text. What sort of criteria you will use? How you will handle your text, where you will get it from (user/file)?

You'll have to read from one file and write what you want into another. As you scan your input, when you find line.startsWith("Acknowledgement") then keep reading lines but don't write any data until you get to the line.startsWith("Introduction").

I hope you aren't stripping copyrighted material of all copyright and acknowledegment info and presenting it for download though...
