;; Area Report from 2 Numeric Texts or 2 Linear Dimensions or 2 Numeric Block Attributes as txt file with text string in format A x B .. = Area (cm²)
;; Created by Dlanor 2018 (thanks to Tim Willey) slightly modified by Igal Averbuh 2018 (add changed to multiply)
;; Saved from: http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=54104.0
;; PLEASE READ FIRST
;; Error checking is basic. The Sub (rh:get_num) only checks if the string is empty having removed all digits
;; the decimal point and any spaces. This is the minimum to allow atof. Integers will be parsed to reals
;;
;; You can select Dimensions, Attributes or Text provided the selected item ONLY contains Numbers.
;; MText may fail due to the formatting contained within the text string.
;; An allowance has been made for spaces. Text containing spaces should parse.
;; Select entities individually. If an object is not allowed and alert box will inform you why
;; but you can continue to select. To end the entity selection left click on an empty area of the screen
;; This will produce an empty entity selection and exit the selection loop.
;; Be aware discrepancies may arise due to rounding required.
;; If you need to alter the number accuracy or Report file name please change
;; the first or second line in the first setq statement as required
;; I've included a "shortcut" to start the lisp (defun c:ax() (c:addtxts)). If you change the main routine name
;; you will need to update the "shortcut" as well
;; so type "addtxts" or "ax" to start
