As you are familiar with the UNIX tools, then your problem is solved:
just get ports of SED and/or AWK for MSDOS. (You'll probably find
that *GREP has features that you simply can't live without, too.)

ftp ftp cdrom.com /pub/simtel/msdos/editor/
ed_el.zip     B   31940  890314  Line-oriented editor, like UNIX V7 ed

ftp ftp cdrom.com /pub/simtel/msdos/fileutil/
