Moving data from a specified column/row to another column/row

Hello,
I have an input file like the following:
11_3_4
2_1_35
3_15__
_16989

Where '_' is a space. The data is in a table. Is there a way for the program to prompt the user for x1,y1 and x2,y2, where x1,y1 is the desired number (for example x=6 y=4 is a value of 4) and move to a desired spot (x2,y2).

In this example, if (x1=6 y1=4) and (x2=3 y2=1), then the new table will be:
1193_4
2_1_35
3_15__
_1698_
