You will not be able to avoid manual work. That said, it is often quite possible to fix errors like those you describe using the power of regular expressions. You will likely need to use some programmer's editor (such as PSPad) to make a full use of them, though.

(It might be a good idea to do your editing in such an editor even if you decide learning regexps is too much work to be worth it - these editors tend to be much better in displaying special characters than your average office application.)
