Removing comma just from numbers
Hi Guys,

I want to remove commas from just the numbers in the file.
So both sides of the comma should be numbers.

Input file

Code:
Johan
1,234 nb
jan
123,3
hi, hello, bye
12,345,54
hejhej

Desired output:

Code:
Johan
1234 nb
jan
1233
hi, hello, bye
1234554
hejhej

Thanks a lot Smilie
