You can do it easily in VMD with a simple script like this:
mol load pdb pdbfile.pdb
set all [atomselect top "all"]
set sel [atomselect top "<YOUR SELECTION FOR CARBON ATOMS - CHANGE THIS>"]
$all set beta 0
$sel set beta 1
$all writepdb pdbfile_beta_1.pdb
$all delete
$sel delete
mol delete top
exit

You just need to use a text editor that isn't garbage (or probably most people write a quick python or bash script). I'm guessing you are on Windows? There are windows versions of decent linux editors, but there are also native-windows editors like http://www.editpadpro.com/ that are good editors that won't mangle the files.

It's difficult to overstate the benefits of having at least some minor coding ability and understanding.
