This is a job for sed:
sed -n '/Daily Invocing Totals/,/^REPORT TITLE/p' report.txt
Which perl can emulate using its range operator:
perl -ne 'print if /Daily Invoicing Totals/,/^REPORT TITLE/' report.txt
The regexes simply match the first and last lines of the range you
want to print, so adjust them accordingly.
