Then use CF and its regex capability (maybe just ReReplace()). It's unlikely to be anywhere near as fast as Perl, but if you're not processing hundreds or thousands of files, big deal. CF shouldn't have much of a problem with 5MB files. If they were 100MB I'd look elsewhere.
If you wan't to do it interactively (though I can't imagine why), you could use CF Studio's extended replace with regular expressions.
