The probe strings will be used to stimulate the server (such as “\n”: a single newline).
The match strings are regular expressions where “%H” is a placeholder for the target name you
want to detect, such as:
\\(.*\\)(%H)\\(.*\\)” or just “xxx%Hyyy”.
The first one will extract target name from things such as:
nanana(myTarget): à results: myTarget
jhdsgjhas(tg2)kjafja à results: tg2
And the second one from things such as:
hsagdfjhagfxxxTARGETyyyyyy à resulting: TARGET
