Compare files with regular expression
Readers,
Reading a previous post about comparing files using awk ('awk-compare-2-columns-2-files-output-whole-line', https://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/168432-awk-compare-2-columns-2-files-output-whole-line.html), it is possible to adjust this, so that regular expression can be used as the criterion?
Thanks.

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)
NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {

...

igawk -f test.awk
