Default How to ignore text on SUM() function...

seq = 1:64. Why 64? Seems like an arbitrary number smaller than the
"standard" arbitrary 255 because you don't expect a string longer
than 64 characters.


The STRING may be longer than 64 chars, but the numeric substring at
the beginning would have to be no more than 64 chars. Numeric strings
of more than 64 chars aren't going to produce meaningful sums anyway.
