Another way to remove all characters except digits (and decimal points)
from a string is:
translate($x, translate($x, '0123456789.', ''), '')

A much more elegant solution than mine - and I see now that my solution would stumble on a real number. This is probably also much faster than doing it character by character, recursively.
