sString
      String in which all characters will be searched.

      Characters which need to appear in sString. Note that characters can be stated more than once,
       then they need to appear as often in sString as in sChars.
bIgnoreCase
      Optional - standard value is False if not provided
      True - takes the summands as they are
      False - works on the summands' percentages to make all percentages add up to 100% exactly
bDontAmend
      Optional - standard value is False if not provided
      True - Function treats alls String as upper case
      False - Function is case sensitive
