Use a decent text editor like Notepad++ or Vim.
If you aren’t afraid of using the command line, I’d suggest taking a look at Gnuwin32, which is a port of many useful *nix utilities for Windows.
It contains heavyweight such as Sed, Awk, Grep etc., which are more than suited for any kind of text surgery.
