Hey kasimani,
When I first looked at your file, I thought there would be many character escaping. However I was successful with sed and double quotes. SHould work with your perl example. Code:
shine:~ jasonralph$ cat file.html
<html>
<body>
<title>JAYSUNNS SUPER HTML PAGE<title/>
asdlasdlaasiodjoiasdjioasjdoasidjioasjd
ajsdopiaiospd
OAS_AD('Top');

asdfopksdopfkopaskdfopkasopdfkopaskdfpoksdafk
asdfokaopsdfkopaskdfokaopsdf
asdfokaopsdfkopksadfkpoaksdpfokaspodfkpoaskdfpokasopdf
aosdkfopaskdfpokasofkpoaskfpokpafs
<body/>
<html/>
shine:~ jasonralph$
Code:
shine:~ jasonralph$ cat file.html | sed "s/OAS_AD('Top');//g"
<html>
HTH,

I've not tested, but I trust jaysunn. One thing it should not be -pi~ -e
Code:
-pie

For Perl Use this:
Code:
for find in $(find . -type f -name "file1.html" ) ; do cat $find | perl -npe "s/OAS_AD\('Top'\);//g"; done
Tested and it seems to work. Code:
shine:~ jasonralph$ for find in $(find . -type f -name "file1.html" ) ; do cat $find | perl -npe "s/OAS_AD\('Top'\);//g"; done
<html>
<body>
