If your sample text is truely representative of the text you have in your
document, use the following in the "Find what" box of the Replace dialog:

*M([0-9, ,\,]@)([!0-9]@^13)

Then use this in the "Replace with" box:

\2

Click on "More" and check the "Use wildcards" checkbox.
Then try "Replace All".

If it does not do what you want, undo rigth away. You may need to tinker
with the "Find what" expression.
