I would like to remove all of these with a shell command.
To strictly answer your question: use any text-editing tool you like, including (but not limited to): awk, sed, perl, ed, ex, vi, ... All of these tools can be invocated as shell commands.

I would use as an example this one :

Code:
find /vhosts -type f -name '*.js' -print0 | xargs -0 perl -i [...]

but I'm not sure what to change with all the escape characters and the * symbols.
If you are not sure i suggest you use another tool with which you are. Replace "perl" with "awk", "sed" or any other of the aforementioned text filters until you find one with which you are indeed sure, then use that one. To suggest one would largely be a matter of opinion and you specifically did not ask for that, so i will keep my completely arbitrary personal pejoratives to myself.

I hope this helps.

lessecho

LESSECHO(1)						      General Commands Manual						       LESSECHO(1)

NAME

       lessecho - expand metacharacters

SYNOPSIS

       lessecho [-ox] [-cx] [-pn] [-dn] [-mx] [-nn] [-ex] [-a] file ...

DESCRIPTION

       lessecho  is  a program that simply echos its arguments on standard output.  But any metacharacter in the output is preceded by an "escape"
       character, which by default is a backslash.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -ex    Specifies "x", rather than backslash, to be the escape char for metachars.  If x is "-", no escape char is used and  arguments  con-
	      taining metachars are surrounded by quotes instead.

       -ox    Specifies "x", rather than double-quote, to be the open quote character, which is used if the -e- option is specified.

       -cx    Specifies "x" to be the close quote character.

       -pn    Specifies "n" to be the open quote character, as an integer.

       -dn    Specifies "n" to be the close quote character, as an integer.

       -mx    Specifies "x" to be a metachar.  By default, no characters are considered metachars.

       -nn    Specifies "n" to be a metachar, as an integer.

       -fn    Specifies "n" to be the escape char for metachars, as an integer.

       -a     Specifies that all arguments are to be quoted.  The default is that only arguments containing metacharacters are quoted
