-----------------------------------------
I love this idea
> Add TextP.regex to the text predicate set
> -----------------------------------------

> Key: TINKERPOP-2652
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2652
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: process
> Affects Versions: 3.6.0
> Reporter: Kelvin Lawrence
> Assignee: Kelvin R. Lawrence
> Priority: Major
>
> We have over the years, going back to a discussion thread from January 2018
> [https://lists.apache.org/thread/r76r47jjxmomz9hvsx96www6r8qnh60t] had
> discussions of various text predicates that Gremlin lacks but are commonly
> found in other query languages such as SPARQL and Cypher. We currently have
> some TextP predicates, but not a specific regex one. I propose we add
> TextP.regex and for the reference implementation leverage the Java Pattern
> and Matcher classes. It may be that other implementations will choose to use
> a different REGEX engine but at least this will get the support into the
> Gremlin language. As a first pass, I envision this can be something quite
> simple along these lines (from a small prototype I put together).
