Remove comma between characters

Dear all,

i have some records like these:

abc,123,b3,"this is a comma,",abc,"this , is another comma",bye bye
abc,"12,3",b3,"this is a comma",abc,"this , is another, comma",bye bye

 and i would like to remove (or replace with another character) all commas  within double quotes (highlighted in yellow), and keep all other commas (outsite double quotes).

This should be manageable with the msq-feature like:

LOAD * FROM PoorCommaSeapratedData.txt (txt, codepage is 1252, no labels, delimiter is ',', msq);
