perl -pie "s/X\cHX/X/g"
will replace X followed by C-H followed by X with X.
Better you try it on a copy first. I don't trust myself that much :-)
Maybe you want the enhanced version perl -pie "s/(\w)\cH\1/$1/g"
Will change "a word character followed by C-H followed by the privious
word" to the word character found.
A^HA will be changed to A. A^HB won't be changed.
A word character is defined as [a-zA-Z_0-9]
