Description
### What needs to happen?
https://hop.apache.org/manual/next/pipeline/transforms/textfileinput.html
- "Selecting files using Regular Expressions" gives examples of some unusual regex constructs. Please link to a definition of these regexes
```
# maybe .*userdata.*\.txt is meant?
.userdata.\.txt
# what is ENG? and are there other digits but ENG? And how does this relate to Unicode char classes?
[ENG:A-Z][ENG:0-9].*
```
- specify whether regexes are anchored (as if surrounded by ^...$) or partial-match
- define subheadings (anchors) for "Selecting files using Regular Expressions" and "Accepting filenames from a previous transform"

Verify the meanings of the shown constructs, determine whether matching is anchored or partial, then add links, the requested subheadings, and clear explanations to the page.
