I am using Notepad ++ (v6.5.1)

I need to edit a large text file and remove certain ASCII characters from it, some of these may not be in the file, some may be in multiple times.

These are: !”£$%^&*()_+=-€/.,#’;][?><~@:}{áéíóú

In the case of £ this needs replacing with GBP and also & needs replacing with "and"

What would be the easiest way to do this? I need to amend multiple files daily so an easy way to replicate would be helpful, i.e. can I write a macro and use that etc?
