Nim

import ../aoc, re, sequtils, strutils, math

proc mulsum*(line:string):int=
  let matches = line.findAll(re"mul\([0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3}\)")
  let pairs = matches.mapIt(it[4..^2].split(',').map(parseInt))
  pairs.mapIt(it[0]*it[1]).sum

proc filter*(line:string):int=
  var state = true;
  var i=0
  while i < line.len:
    if state:
      let off = line.find("don't()", i)
      if off == -1:
        break
      result += line[i..<off].mulsum
      i = off+6
      state = false
    else:
      let on = line.find("do()", i)
      if on == -1:
        break
      i = on+4
      state = true
      
  if state:
    result += line[i..^1].mulsum

proc solve*(input:string): array[2,int] =
  #part 1&2
  result = [input.mulsum, input.filter]

I had a nicer solution in mind for part 2, but for some reason nre didn't want to work for me, and re couldn't give me the start/end or all results, so I ended up doing this skip/toggle approach.

Also initially I was doing it line by line out of habit from other puzzles, but then ofc the don't()s didn't propagate to the next line.
