Try:
Select whole column
Edit -> find
enter in "search for" : [0-9]+,[0-9]+,
Leave "replace with" blank
Click "other options"
mark "regular expressions"
click "replace all"
The reg expression above expects at least 1 digit before the first comma and
between the commas.
If this is not the case (the value can also be ..Text), then replace the "+"
with "*" in above regular expression
Success,
Rob.
