Find and Remove

I am trying to get multiple strings removed or replaced with space in a file, for individual strings I have been using the following and it works
Code:
sed -e 's/#*#*//g' test_1.dat > test_2.dat

what needs to be done if multiple strings are to be removed?


For example I will need to remove the following strings
1. #*#*
2. *#*#
3. !!@!#
4. &*(%(


Rather than have 4 different commands to do this, I would like to get the result in one command. The reason why I have to have it done in one line is because the above command will be used to replace a set of strings from over 200 files; I am planning to create a generic script that will have the set of strings to be removed or replaced.




Thanks.
