Default Formula to strip figures from cells text strings


I'm trying to write a cell formula that strips figures from cells text
strings & totals them into one cell. The figures will always have a
decimal.

For example:

Cell A5 has a text string "924 Social 9.78"
Cell B5 has a text string "984 163.94 981 7.84"
Cell C5 has a text string "920 Kitchen 7.86
Cell D5 has a text string :988 Youth 42.46

Need to arrive a the total amount of 231.88 in cell E5
(9.78+163.94+7.84+7.86+42.46)-do not include the non-decimal figures
924, 984, etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks for all your help.
