This would be a nice addition to outline.el.  For example, new commands
outline-hide-by-regexp and outline-show-by-regexp that could use
existing code extracted from outline--show-headings-up-to-level:

  (outline-map-region
   (lambda ()
     (when (let ((beg (point))
                 (end (progn (outline-end-of-heading) (point))))
             (string-match-p heading-regexp (buffer-substring beg end)))
       ;; hide entry when heading match regexp
       (outline-hide-entry))))
