Depending on how much of the functionality you need you may be able to use a series of like operators, substr, insttr, and case statements to filter the data similar to what regexp_substr does for you.

There is also the Oracle Text product which comes with the Enterprise Edition, but you have to configure it since it is not automatically configured. You may also have to install the binary component.

Finally you can write your own function.
