Description

Is there a way to use a sort of "substr( )" or a regex solution in the -j filtering?
That is not available in mapbox unfortunately.

thanks
Giorgio

Research direction

Start by tracing the -j filtering entry point in tippecanoe and identify how filter expressions are parsed and evaluated. Clarify whether substring matching, regular expressions, or both are required, then define completion around a documented working filter example and coverage for the supported behavior.
