Code #1
Observations
83 characters composed of numbers and symbols. You’ll need to look for a split.
[hint] . – [/hint]
With a string like that, there as to be a character that is use as a split. Having a closer look at the string you can see that the longest sequence of consecutive numbers is 0332220. If zero is used as a split point we are left with 33222 which is 5 bits and fits number coding in morse. Split at 0 and numbers are dot, symbols are dashes

We now have 20 characters containing one number. Could be Base64 but we need to figure out which letters are capital and lowercase
Look at the how the strings are made. If you convert symbols to numbers, notice how each digit in a group follows a range
123 are numbers
456 are lowercase
789 are capital

Code #2
Observations
Symbols followed by numbers, the split points are obvious
[hint]Codes should come out during Prime time…[/hint]
Split at symbols and replace them with their respective numbers on the keyboard
379 19 271 1597 4129 5939 23 509 523 1627 13 53 7 379 353
All those numbers are prime numbers. Using this list get their position. Note that your count should start at 0 not 1.
