    Python

    I love it when I can just slap a problem with a regex and be done with it.

    import re
    
    from pathlib import Path
    from typing import Generator
    
    def parse_input(input: str) -> Generator[range, None, None]:
        for r in input.split(","):
            v = r.split("-")
            yield range(int(v[0]), int(v[1]) + 1)
    
    
    def solve(input: str, pattern: str) -> int:
        exp = re.compile(pattern)
        return sum(
            map(
                lambda m: int(m.group()),
                filter(
                    None,
                    map(lambda s: exp.match(s), [n for r in parse_input(input) for n in map(str, r)])
                )
            )
        )
    
    
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        input = Path("_2025/_2/input").read_text("utf-8")
        print(solve(input, r"^(\d+)\1$"))
        print(solve(input, r"^(\d+)\1+$"))
