CVS does not have any feature to checkout files or directories using
just a regular expression.

For cvs 1.12.x (or CVSNT), you may find the 'ls' and 'rls' commands of
interest.
Examples:
cvs rls module
cvs rls -l module/subdir
cvs rls -R module/subdir
cvs rls -l -R module/subdir
where 'module' is a top-level module and 'subdir' is a subdirectory of
'module'.
Another method available to all versions of cvs is the rlog command with
the -R switch to print just the name of the RCS file.
For what you want, something like the following might do the trick:
cvs -d :ext:host.domain/root/path rlog -R module/subdir |\
grep -v /Attic/ | sed -e 's,^/root/path/,,' -e 's/,v$//' |\
grep '.*\.txt$' > files
cvs -d :ext:host.domain/root/path checkout `cat files`
There may be other ways to do what you wish. However, it may also
be a good idea to segregate the files you wish to checkout to a
particular directory rather than mixing them with files you would
not wish to checkout.
Enjoy!
