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 :
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.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
page_util_quote - page character quoting utilities
SYNOPSIS
package require page::util::quote ?0.1?
package require snit
::page::util::quote::unquote char
::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char
::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char
::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This package provides a few utility commands to convert characters into various forms.
API
::page::util::quote::unquote char
A character, as stored in an abstract syntax tree by a PEG processor (See the packages grammar::peg::interpreter, grammar::me, and
their relations), i.e. in some quoted form, is converted into the equivalent Tcl character. The character is returned as the result
of the command.
::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser, will
regenerate the character in question and is 7bit ASCII. The string is returned as the result of this command.
::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser and
will generate a human readable representation of the character in question. The string is returned as the result of this command.
The string does not use any unprintable characters. It may use backslash-quoting. High UTF characters are quoted to avoid problems
with the still prevalent ascii terminals. It is assumed that the string will be used in a double-quoted environment.
::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser when
used within a Tcl comment. The string is returned as the result of this command.
