Here is one way :
1. Mark all files you want to see with `%%m'
2. Inverse the marks via `*t'
3. Invoke `dired-do-kill-lines' with `k'
4. Reset the listing with `g'
Wrapped up in a function :
(defun dired-show-only (regexp)
(interactive "sFiles to show (regexp): ")
(dired-mark-files-regexp regexp)
(dired-toggle-marks)
(dired-do-kill-lines))
(define-key dired-mode-map [?%%?h] 'dired-show-only)
-ap
