cleaning braille files

This is an accessibility question but perhaps not quite on point for this
list.

From time to time I need to read very lengthy documents in braille on my
electronic braille notetaker.

In order to make the process much more enjoyable I clean the file by
removing paragraph symbols, end of line feeds, rows of dashes, spaces,
slashes or stars.

When finished, I have a file that requires far fewer line advances as I read
along and one that uses the full width of the braille display.

My process for cleaning is rather cumbersome, requiring the creation of
several search and replace strings that I run manually. I'm wondering if
anyone on the list knows of a piece of software that might have been created
that does what I'm doing by hand?

Thanks in advance for your continued good works. I'm mostly a lurker but do
learn much.
