Uncollapse digits

Question

Task

Given a string of English names of digits “collapsed” together, like this:

zeronineoneoneeighttwoseventhreesixfourtwofive

Split the string back into digits:

zero nine one one eight two seven three six four two five

Rules

• The input is always a string. It always consists of one or more lowercase English digit names, collapsed together, and nothing else.

  • The English digit names are zero one two three four five six seven eight nine.

• The output may be a list of strings, or a new string where the digits are delimited by non-alphabetic, non-empty strings. (Your output may also optionally have such strings at the beginning or end, and the delimiters need not be consistent. So even something like {{ zero0one$$two ); is a valid (if absurd) answer for zeroonetwo.)

• The shortest answer in bytes wins.

Test cases

three -> three
eightsix -> eight six
fivefourseven -> five four seven

Answer 4

Befunge, 87 85 81 76 bytes

<*"h"%*:"h"$_02g-v1$,*<v%*93,:_@#`0:~
"@{&ruX;\"00^ !: _>_48^>+:"yp!"*+%02p0

Try it online!

Befunge doesn't have any string manipulation instructions, so what we do is create a kind of hash of the last three characters encountered, as we're processing them.

This hash is essentially a three digit, base-104 number. Every time a new character is read, we mod the hash with 104² to get rid of the oldest character, multiply it by 104 to make space for the new character, then add the ASCII value of the new character mod 27 (to make sure it doesn't overflow).

For comparison purposes, we take this value mod 3817, write it into memory (thus truncating it to 8 bits), which results in smaller numbers that are easier for Befunge to handle. The hashes we then have to compare against are 0, 38, 59, 64, 88, 92, 114, 117, and 123. If it matches any of those, we know we've encountered a character sequence that marks the end of a number, so we output an additional space and reset the hash to zero.

If you're wondering why base 104, or why mod 3817, those values were carefully chosen so that the hash list we needed to compare against could be represented in as few bytes as possible.

Edit 1: (Added suggestions from Mr. Xcoder - thanks! - My macro version was same size as yours, but I like yours better.)

Edit 2: Changed char individual compares to calls to strchr()

Edit 3: K&R's the var declarations (Eww!)

Edit 4: When 1 macro is not enough...

Edit 5: Redone with new algorithm suggested above. Thanks to James Holderness for this great idea!

Edit 6: Removed 0 set as it seems to go there automatically - Master level code golf techniques used (commas, printf trick, etc.) - thanks gastropner!

Edit 7: Use memchr and fixed a bug pointed out by James Holderness.

Edit 7: Use && on final check to replace ? - thanks jxh.

c,h;f(char*s){while(c=*s++)putchar(c),h=h%10816*104+c%27,memchr("&;@X\\ru{",h%3817,9)&&putchar(h=32);}

Try it online!

Non-golfed (Which is still very golfy honestly...)

int c;
int h;
void f(char*s)
{
    while(c=*s++)
        putchar(c),
        h=h%10816*104+c%27,
        memchr("&;@X\\ru{",h%3817,9)?putchar(h=32):1;
}

Old, straight forward grep-esqe solution:

#define p putchar
#define q c=*s++
c,x;f(char*s){while(q){p(c);x=strchr("tse",c);p(q);p(q);if(!strchr("eox",c)){p(q);if(x)p(q);}p(' ');}}

Old, cleaner version.

// Above code makes a macro of putchar() call.

void f(char *s)
{
    char c;
    while(c = *s++)
    {
        putchar(c);
        int x = strchr("tse", c);

        putchar(*s++);
        putchar(c=*s++);

        if(!strchr("eox", c))
        {
            putchar(*s++);
            if(x)
            {
                putchar(*s++);

s=>s.replace(/one|t[wh]|.i|[fsz]/g," $&")

Pretty naive, but it works.

Nice catch by FrownyFrog to use 2 chars .. except for "one" which a pure 2 char check might mess up zeronine. Edit: the single f and s were good catches by FrownyFrog that I overlooked my first two golfs.

Thanks, Neil, for the suggestion of an unnamed lambda and being able to use a single char for z gets down to 52.

Titus comes up with a smaller RegEx. I feel we are heading toward Uriel's regex eventually.

C, 103 99 bytes

char*r="f.tzuonresn.xgv";f(char*s){*s&&f(s+printf("%.*s ",(strrchr(r,s[2])-strchr(r,*s))%10,s)-1);}

This works for any character encoding (including awkward ones like EBCDIC), because it doesn't use the numeric value of the input characters. Instead, it locates the first and third letters in a magic string. The distance between these indicates how many letters to advance with each print.

Test program

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    for (int i = 1;  i < argc;  ++i) {
        f(argv[i]);
        puts("");
    }
}

int constants gets unnecessary large by shifting a<<8
but in case you can compare to strings somehow it should be the most natural

146 Using string comparison

#define s|a==*(int*)
a,b;main(i){for(;~(b=getchar());printf(" %c"+!!i,b),a|=b<<8*i++)if(i>4 s"zero"s"one"s"two"s"four"s"five"s"six"s"nine")a=i=0;}

A full program printing line-feed separated output. Note: once it's done it repeatedly prints empty lines "forever" (until a huge recursion limit or a seg-fault)

Try it online! (TIO output is accumulated, a local implementation will print line by line)

How?

Starting with a list of characters, the program repeatedly:

1. finds the length of the first word of the list of characters using some ordinal mathematics;
2. prints the word plus a linefeed; and
3. removes the word from the head of the list of characters

The length of the first word is decided by inspecting the first three characters of the current list of characters (necessarily part of the first word). The program converts these to ordinals, multiplies them together, modulos the result by 953, modulos that by seven, modulos that by three and adds three:

word   head3  ordinals       product  %953  %7  %3  +3 (=len(word))

"six"
"three"
"eight"

Explanation:

Quick solution, probably better and more golfable approaches.

{asc[raze x ss/:string`z`one`tw`th`f`s`ei`ni]cut x} / ungolfed solution
{                                                 } / lambda with implicit x as input
                                             cut x  / cut x at indices given by left
 asc[                                       ]       / sort ascending
                string`z`one`tw`th`f`s`ei`ni        / string list ("z","one",...)
          x ss/:                                    / string-search left with each right
     raze                                           / reduce down list

Notes:

46 bytes with some simple golfing, replacing q calls with k ones, but still a hefty solution.

(including +1 for the -r flag)

s/([ots]|[zfn].|(se|th|ei).)../ &/g

Just a simple regexp replacement.

Of course, this uses the regex found by Uriel. Although, it’s great when Deorst beats Pyth and Jelly :P

Answer 35

Matlab, 432 bytes

A long attempt.

s=char(input('','s'));o=[];while length(s)>0;switch s(1:2);case'ze';o=[o,' ',s(1:4)];s(1:4)=[];case'on';o=[o,' ',s(1:3)];s(1:3)=[];case'tw';o=[o,' ',s(1:3)];s(1:3)=[];case 'th';o=[o,' ',s(1:5)];s(1:5)=[];case'fo';o=[o,' ',s(1:4)];s(1:4)=[];case'fi';o=[o,' ',s(1:4)];s(1:4)=[];case 'si';o=[o,' ',s(1:3)];s(1:3)=[];case'se';o=[o,' ',s(1:5)];s(1:5)=[];case 'ei';o=[o,' ',s(1:5)];s(1:5)=[];otherwise;o=[o,' ',s(1:4)];s(1:4)=[];end;end;o

ungolfed:

s=char(input('','s'))
o=[]
while length(s)>0
switch s(1:2)
    case 'ze'
        o=[o,' ',s(1:4)]
        s(1:4)=[]
    case 'on'
        o=[o,' ',s(1:3)]
        s(1:3)=[]
    case 'tw'
        o=[o,' ',s(1:3)]
        s(1:3)=[]
    case 'th'
        o=[o,' ',s(1:5)]
        s(1:5)=[]
    case 'fo'
        o=[o,' ',s(1:4)]
        s(1:4)=[]
    case 'fi'
        o=[o,' ',s(1:4)]
        s(1:4)=[]
    case 'si'
        o=[o,' ',s(1:3)]
        s(1:3)=[]
    case 'se'
        o=[o,' ',s(1:5)]
        s(1:5)=[]
    case 'ei'
        o=[o,' ',s(1:5)]
        s(1:5)=[]
    otherwise
        o=[o,' ',s(1:4)]
        s(1:4)=[]
