I don't understand what you mean by "without listing each file
individually".  How can you apply the filter to file content without
knowing its filename?

Since you're already running Unix, the easiest solution is to write a
Python script which takes <stdin> and spits out corrected <stdout>.
Then, use shell to call it.  You can, of course, do all these in Python
using 'os' module.
