Help with cleansing data

I have a file with 27 fields seperated by pipe. I have a field 17 that is defined as numeric and the data coming in might contain character and
other miscellaneous data like (@,!,~,#,%,^,&,*,(,)).

I have to make sure that the column strictly contains numeric data and if it contains any of the characters or the special characters mentioned
above, they should be made to be null. can somebody let me know how I can do that.

sample data row

For usb_pipe_set_private(): USB_SUCCESS Private data has been successfully stored in pipe handle. USB_INVALID_PIPE pipe_handle argument is NULL or invalid. Pipe is closing or closed. USB_INVALID_PERM The pipe_handle argument refers to the default control pipe. For usb_pipe_get_private(): On success: usb_opaque_t pointer to data being retrieved. On failure: NULL. Fails if pipe handle is NULL or invalid. Fails if pipe handle is to a pipe which is closing or closed. CONTEXT
