Efficiency? Elegant Code? Nope but It works.
Luckily I did part 1 by looking at the symbols first anyway, so extending to part two was trivial. Also originally had a bug where I treated all symbols as cogs, not only ''. Interestingly it worked anyway as only ''s had two adjacent numbers in my data. It is fixed in this version.
Hacked together combined code (originally I did each part as separate programs but they shared so much that I ended up combining then so the post is shorter): https://pastebin.com/Dij2XSYe
Edit: anything in angle brackets is not displaying even with backslashes, idk why but i have moved the code to a pastebin.
Language: C++
