Description

Hi,

i'm using influxdb v2.6.0

I create an array to use it after in the main query:

```
volname= from(bucket: v.bucket)
|> range(start: -365d)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "vol_cnf" )
|> filter(fn: (r) => r.poolid == "${pool}")
|> keep(columns: ["_value","poolid"])
|> group()
|> keep(columns: ["_value"])
|> findColumn(fn: (key) => true, column: "_value")
```

Exported values are composed of:
00:00:00
00:00:01
00:10:00
etc with 1000 others items ~

The main query is composed as follow, but it was very long/slow, but the query works
Some time i got timeout in grafana.

```
from(bucket: v.bucket)
|> range(start: v.timeRangeStart, stop: v.timeRangeStop)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "VOL" and r._field == "VOL_IOPS" )
|> filter(fn: (r) => contains(value: r.volID, set: volname))
```

So i read that i can use another faster method with regex , but it don't work:

```
from(bucket: v.bucket)
|> range(start: v.timeRangeStart, stop: v.timeRangeStop)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "VOL" and r._field == "VOL_IOPS" )
|> filter(fn: (r) => r["ldevID"] =~ /^${volname:regex}$/)
// or this one |> filter(fn: (r) => r["ldevID"] =~ /$volname$/ )
// or this one |> filter(fn: (r) => r["ldevID"] =~ /^${volname}$/ ) with the same error:
```

invalid: compilation failed: error @17:37-17:58: regex parse error: ${volname:regex}$ error: repetition quantifier expects a valid decimal

Any idea ?

Many thanks,

Research direction

No repository file, test, or entry point is mentioned. Start by reproducing the reported Flux queries on InfluxDB v2.6.0, compare the working contains filter with the regex variants, and verify the expected behavior and compilation error before identifying an appropriate project area.
