Support regexp

[ruirlliu]

Thanks for your work on this tool, it's very useful to switch folders for me.

However, I found zoxide doesn't support regexp ( didn't find in the wiki ), if there are some folders with similar name, zoxide may jumps into the wrong folder.

For instance,

z ~/a/b/c
z ~/a/b/c1
z ~/a/b/c2

# cd to the folder c
z  c
# jumped into wrong folder
~/a/b/c1

If zoxide supports regexp, it's easy to jump into a specific folder, such as:

# cd to a folder ends with c
z c$

~/a/b/c

More info:

• system: ubuntu 22.04
• zoxide version: zoxide 0.9.4
• fzf version: 0.53.0 (brew)

I don't think regex is the correct solution here.

• regex is designed to be precise, but is hard (and slow) to write. Moreover, you'd have to manually escape characters - both for regex and for your shell.
• zoxide's query language may be imprecise and get 1% of queries wrong, but as a result it's much faster to write queries and it's a lot quicker to think up a query when working in your shell.

Implementing regex in zoxide would be one library import away, and regex is a fantastic tool - but IMHO it's the wrong tool for the job. That said, if you still want functionality like this, zoxide is designed to be scriptable - you should be able to set up something with zoxide query --list and grep.
