Evaluating the contents of a string

Is there a simple way to evaluate the contents of a string assuming
that string contains only nunbers and mathematical operators?
For example, I'm parsing a file that contains expressions contained in
parantheses such the following:
12 net64 a vss vss n w=1.1u l=0.5u ad=(1.1 * 1.15) as=(1.1 * 1.15)
^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm using a stack to determine when an expression can be evaluated
(i.e., when a closing paranthesis is found), and I'm storing the
contents of the parantheses in a string. When the first closing
parenthesis is found in the example above, the string to be evaluated
will be '1.1 * 1.15'. Is there a module that will mathematically
evaluate this string?
Thanks,
Aaron
