You might want to install Perl (a/k/a Practical Extraction and Report Language.) It's designed for manipulating text files and performing programmed edits on the content. You use regular expressions to locate what you want to change and take actions based on the results.
It's cross-platform, free, and open source. The best Windows version is probably Active State's:

They sell supported commercial versions, but a free Community edition is available, with source.
You can also look at
Text2HTML, an open source conversion program built on Perl.
