I have a scrollbar object in my project repository, the path is
"list/scrollbar[@type='ScrollBar' and @fulltype='fl.controls::ScrollBar' and @maxvalue='5300']/button[3]"

almost every build, the maxvalue changes. Is there anyway that I can put a wildcard character on this object so I don't have to change it everytime before I run it? I have tried those but all failed

"list/scrollbar[@type='ScrollBar' and @fulltype='fl.controls::ScrollBar' and @maxvalue='*']/button[3]"

"list/*/button[3]"

"list/scrollbar[@type='ScrollBar' and @fulltype='fl.controls::ScrollBar']/button[3]"

Can anyone give me suggestions on how to use regular expression here?

Wildcards are not regular expressions! That means "*" is not a regular expressions for "match everything".

Please read the regular expression documentation in the Ranorex User Guide and/or on MSDN:

I believe you meant ".*" which matches any character zero or more time (= "match everything").
