Simple Text Summation

This simple text summation reduces a text to three numbers. The first number is the reduction from a text to a "the simple text summation number". This is done by using the characters positions in the following array, which is just the lower case letters and the (decimal) digits:


abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxyzåäö0123456789

E.g. "a" = 1, "b" = 2, "z" = 25, "ö" = 28, "7" = 36.
The characters not in this array (e.g. white space, ".", "!" etc) is not included in the summation.
The other two ways use this text summation number and reduces it even more:

basic digit sum: sums the digits in the text sum
reduced digit sum: reduce the basic digit sum to a number between 0 and 9

Also, the program shows the digits used in the calculation, the "Digit array". Example: The Simple Text Summation number of the text above is: 6487, its basic digit sum is 25 and its reduced digit sum is 7.

Note: This program was inspired by the creative wishes of Thebe, especially the blog post Haiku-färg (Haiku color). It was formally announced in my (swedish) blog: Enkel textsummering (mestadels åt Thebe).

Result:

The simple text summation number is: 0.
Basic digit sum of 0: 0
Reduced digit sum of 0: 0
Digit array:

The text used in the calculation (where non used characters is replaced with a "_"):
