I did this in C. First part was fairly trivial, iterate over the line, find first and last number, easy.
Second part had me a bit worried i would need a more string friendly library/language, until i worked out that i can just
strstr
to find "one", and then in place switch that to "o1e", and so on. Then run part1 code over the modified buffer. I originally did "1ne", but overlaps such as "eightwo" meant that i got the 2, but missed the 8.Just realised how inefficient the sanitize function is, it iterates over the buffer way too many times. Should be restarting the strnstr from the location of the last hit instead of from the start.
