BSD tar (at least on macOS) doesn't support the --wildcards option. I was able to still get similar behavior with -x -O *foo. *foo was the filename glob in my case, since I knew the file ended with foo.

tar -xzf lotsofdata.tar.gz <full path and filename from your list above> worked for me withour giving ./ at the start of full path

Use code escapes; don't use bold (ever); fix typo
