Looks like I was right in my first posting: You obviously are a troll.

You didn't say anything about number validation and your icky little
"I look like a C program" Elisp demo didn't do that either. If you
could read you could have seen that there's a comment with respect to
validation in my code. Should be easy to add for every non-idiot.

But count me out on providing further free help to you. The next time
someone posts a solution you'll complain that it doesn't help you with
your tax declaration.
