Try this code:

Select-String $FilePath -pattern "FromHere" | Out-Null

$FromHereStartingLine = Select-String $FilePath -pattern "FromHere" | Select-Object LineNumber

$UptoHereStartingLine = Select-String $FilePath -pattern "UptoHere" | Select-Object LineNumber

for($i=$FromHereStartingLine.LineNumber; $i -lt $UptoHereStartingLine.LineNumber; $i+=1)
{
    $HoldInVariable += Get-Content -Path $FilePath | Foreach-Object { ($_  -replace "`r*`n*","") } | Select-Object -Index $i
}

Write-Host "HoldInVariable : " $HoldInVariable
