Substituting comma "," for dot "." in a specific column when comma"," is a delimiter

Hi,

I'm dealing with an issue and losing a lot of hours figuring out how i would solve this.
I have an input file which looks like this:

Code:
('BLABLA +200-GRS','Serviço ','TarifaçãoServiço','wap.bla.us.0000000121',2985,0,55,' de conversão em escada','Dia','Domingos')
('BLABLA +200-GRR','Serviço ','TarifaçãoServiço','wap.bla.us.0000000121',2985,0,55,' de conversão em escada','Reduzido','Sábados')
('BLABLA 45-GPR','Serviço ','TarifaçãoServiço','canais.bla.us.0000000222',3073,0,' de conversão de diferença','Noite','Sábados')
('BLABLA 45-GPR','Serviço ','TarifaçãoServiço','canais.bla.us.0000000222',3073,0,' de conversão de diferença','Noite','Segunda - Sexta')
('BLABLA 35-GMS','Serviço','TarifaçãoServiço','VC3 XXXX YYY-Fixo TIM(on)',3121,1,21,' de conversão em escada','Noite','Segunda - Sexta')
('BLABLA-GRN','Serviço','TarifaçãoServiço','Chamadas',1362,1,961,' de conversão em escada','Noite','Segunda - Sexta')
('BLABLA-GPE','Serviço','TarifaçãoServiço','Chamadas',1362,1,9897,' de conversão em escada','Dia Todo','Domingos')

So, sometimes i have 9 columns (if using comma delimiter) (lines 3 and 4) and sometimes i have 10 columns (lines 1,2,5,6,7)

I'd like to replace only this column, which is a number (decimal or not), for a dot... it will look like this:

0.55
0.55
0
0
1.21
1.961
1.9897

So, my final result should be like this:

Code:
('BLABLA +200-GRS','Serviço ','TarifaçãoServiço','wap.bla.us.0000000121',2985,0.55,' de conversão em escada','Dia','Domingos')
('BLABLA +200-GRR','Serviço ','TarifaçãoServiço','wap.bla.us.0000000121',2985,0.55,' de conversão em escada','Reduzido','Sábados')
('BLABLA 45-GPR','Serviço ','TarifaçãoServiço','canais.bla.us.0000000222',3073,0,' de conversão de diferença','Noite','Sábados')
('BLABLA 45-GPR','Serviço ','TarifaçãoServiço','canais.bla.us.0000000222',3073,0,' de conversão de diferença','Noite','Segunda - Sexta')
('BLABLA 35-GMS','Serviço','TarifaçãoServiço','VC3 XXXX YYY-Fixo TIM(on)',3121,1.21,' de conversão em escada','Noite','Segunda - Sexta')
('BLABLA-GRN','Serviço','TarifaçãoServiço','Chamadas',1362,1.961,' de conversão em escada','Noite','Segunda - Sexta')
('BLABLA-GPE','Serviço','TarifaçãoServiço','Chamadas',1362,1.9897,' de conversão em escada','Dia Todo','Domingos')

Any ideas of how should i do this?
I have one, which will not be very effective... and this file contains more than 16million lines Smilie

Thanks
