Hi, for regular expression you need to set the parameters FILTERITEM and
FILTER. 
>From the documentation
(http://mapserver.org/mapfile/expressions.html#regular-expression-comparison)

LAYER
    NAME "regexp-example"
    FILTERITEM "placename"
    FILTER /hotel/

    ...
END


I think, the parameter EXPRESSION does not allow regular expression
comparison.

Cheers,
Tommaso
