    Does not ibuffer has support for this? The help text says:

        % n - mark buffers by their name, using a regexp

The original question was about marking buffers in *Buffer List* for
deletion. I'd say that should be pretty easy to code, by looking at 1) the
code in buff-menu.el and 2) the code for the similar Dired function,
`dired-mark-files-regexp' (in dired.el). Do something similar to
`dired-mark-files-regexp', and integrate it within `Buffer-menu-mode'. HTH,
Drew
