This one works with your example:
Code:
sed 's/ \([0-9][0-9]*\)\./\1/g' file

---------- Post updated at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous update was at 05:36 PM ----------

This one works according to your description:
Code:
sed 's/^/|/; s/$/|/; s/| \([0-9][0-9]*\)\.|/|\1|/g; s/^|//; s/|$//' file

It treats the following example line differently:
Code:
A|965|Mr. 90.|35.45|66
