Kotlin

fun part1(input: String): Int {
    val pattern = "mul\\((\\d{1,3}),(\\d{1,3})\\)".toRegex()
    var sum = 0
    pattern.findAll(input).forEach { match ->
        val first = match.groups[1]?.value?.toInt()!!
        val second = match.groups[2]?.value?.toInt()!!
        sum += first * second

    }
    return sum
}

fun part2(input: String): Int {
    val pattern = "mul\\((\\d{1,3}),(\\d{1,3})\\)|don't\\(\\)|do\\(\\)".toRegex()
    var sum = 0
    var enabled = true
    pattern.findAll(input).forEach { match ->
        if (match.value == "do()") enabled = true
        else if (match.value == "don't()") enabled = false
        else if (enabled) {
            val first = match.groups[1]?.value?.toInt()!!
            val second = match.groups[2]?.value?.toInt()!!
            sum += first * second
        }
    }
    return sum
}

You can avoid having to escape the backslashes in regexps by using multiline strings:

val pattern = """mul\((\d{1,3}),(\d{1,3})\)""".toRegex()
