'''

Calculate the number of studs from the individual stud counts found in

text entities extracted from the selected DXF files.

Stud count string format: [36] or [14,2,2,14]

The text must start with an open bracket character '['.

The disc files containing the stud information must be DXF files of the

erection views or erection sheets. The script will summarize the

quantities found between the brackets.

To increase the reliability and accuracy of the stud counts, it is

advisable to limit the use of brackets in SDS/2 labels in the

applicable EVUs to showing stud counts.
