    Oh god, sorry to hear that 😅i’m feeling desperate enough to try that, i just wrote a different implementation and i get the same (wrong) result. At this point I just want to know what i misunderstood or mistyped cuz its driving me crazy

      The bug is some strings can have overlapping characters. onEight threEight fivEight. There are more cases. So if you do a search and replace your string becomes 1ight 3ight and the second number does not get found.

      Possible fixes: Search and replace and add the extra letter: oneEigh then search and replace. Search and replace words to numbers but put some extra letters in just in case.

        Thanks, I managed to find the culprit in the end however - I was using a forward-look of 5 characters for finding if it matches a word so in a string of a3two for example, it would register the two before the 3. It was an easy fix once i found the issue.
