Following this thread and this thread, I thought I'd write a complementary function to allow the user to operate on numbers inside text.
Example:
;;;¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,;;;
;;;ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,¤º°`°º¤;;;

;; --=={ Text Math }==-- ;;
;; ;;
;; The program will allow the user to perform mathematical operations on Text, ;;
;; MText, Dimensions & Attributes containing numerical data. ;;
;; ;;
;; The user is prompted to select an operation (Addition, Subtraction, ;;
;; Division & Multiplication); and an operand. The user is then prompted to ;;
;; make a selection of objects to modify. ;;
;; ;;
;; If a non-commutative operation is chosen, the user will be prompted to ;;
;; specify the order of operation. ;;

Be careful when using with MText that contains nested formatting, comments are welcome.
