How do you search and replace a text with markerA that end with markerB

Hi all,

How do you replace all lines that begin with markerA and end with markerB?

Ex: I have a file with a list of lines.

/sbin/fsck -> $(SEC_CRIT) ;
/sbin/fsck.ext2 -> $(SEC_CRIT) ;


How can I replace all "->$....;" with a blank space " "? Thanks.
