Hello,
I got some data files which I need to change a little bit.

-0,090 0,000
05BA 0B3A
-719,930 -720,000
-719,655 -719,800
-719,340 -719,600
-719,045 -719,200
-718,740 -718,900
-718,435 -718,600
-718,150 -718,300

I have to prepare it for octave.
This means the first four lines should be as a comment (I think - %)
and the rest lines should have no commas but dots.
It should look like:
%-0,090 0,000
%
%05BA 0B3A

-719.930 -720.000
-719.655 -719.800

I try to write a bash script, but I can not find a function that looks for a character in a file.
Can you help me?

Hello,
thank you very much for the solution with sed; it works!!
the second task is to do it automatically with all 14000 files in one directory changing the names of the files from 0,00 to 0_00 (0,10 to 0_10) and so on...
