Correction and rearrangement of 47shailesh post.

No attempt to test the tr command syntax because it is some weird Linux (i.e. non-unix) extension.

find . -xdev -type f -name \*.logs | while read filename
do
    cat "${filename}" | tr -c '[:print:][:cntrl:]' '[-*]' | sed 's/---/-/g' > "${filename}_tmp"
   mv "$filename_tmp" "${filename}"
done

Combining input from the other thread, try this. First test it out on a test directory structure..

for file in */LP/*/*.logs
do 
  LANG=C sed 's/[^[:print:][:cntrl:]]\{1,\}/-/g' "$file" > "$file.new" && mv -- "$file.new" "$file"
done
