Distance between two points over X and Y axes

Hi everybody, first timer poster here!

I am looking for a script to help me improve a tedious task at my work.

What I am currently doing is measuring the distance between a base point and an areacentroid point over the X and Y axes (In top view) using Dims in Rhino, then manually inputting those values into Excel.

What I would like the script to do is let me input a number and store it in an array as (1)

Then, allow me to select a point to serve as basepoint and then another point as target and store the distance over X axis as (2) and Y axis as (0)

The desired outcome of the script is: I insert an integer like 5, the script measures X = 350 and Y = 500. The array is 500,5,350. Then it splits those values up and adds them to my clipboard with vbTab inbetween so i can paste those values into excel.

I have been reading into the rhinoscript guide on developer.rhino3d.com but I am a total rookie and I can’t figure this problem out… If anybody could help me out or point me in the right direction as to how I can measure the distance between two points over the axes like that it would help me out a ton.
