Stephen Boulet:
From the clipboard contents copied from the spreadsheet, the characters s[:80684] were
the visible cell contents, and s[80684:] all started with "b'\x0" and lack any
useful info for what I'm trying to accomplish.
Looks like Excel is rounding up its clipboard allocation to the next
64K. There used to be good reasons for trying to leave some extra room
on the clipboard and avoid reallocating the block but I thought that was
over a long time ago.
To strip NULs off the end of the string use s.rstrip('\0')
