Wildcard can be assumed as 'Like' in database queries, if you are familiar with DB. Meaning if you want to match all files with .xlx extension, simply use *. Example: *.xls. If you want to match a text that starts with Hello, you can use "Hello*".

Regular expression on the other hand is for pattern matching. Lets say, you want to specify a pattern match where you want to match text that has 'hello' followed by 3 digits and text 'hello', in such case you have to choose Regex and write a pattern.
Example: (hello[\d]{3}hello)

Hope this helps!
