Default Counting mixed chains of numbers and letters

Is there a way to sum the numerical values in a chain that includes numbers
and letters.

Example.
If I have a chain such as "M4G3M4P0" is there something I can do so that
excel will sum the numerical values? Note: the chains I am working with are
sometimes quite long (up to 25 characters) but almost always go
letter-number-letter-number- and so on.

Thank you
