Hi Bob!
I believe that Val() only evaluates leading digits, and stops parsing
the string on the first non-digit character.
To use Val() you'd have to write code to parse the string first from pos
1, then from pos 2 and so on until a number is found.
And you would still lose the strings with more than one number.
