regex pattern, wildcard, classes, etc.

From this example, all i can infer is that a <match>
element value is used as a non-anchored match string.
("match anywhere")

I have seen another example showing the use of the
"^" begin-of-line anchor symbol

e.g. "<match>^SUSE Linux Enterprise Server</match>".

But what is the full-extent of what i can use here?

it's a simple bash "=~"
if [[ "uwe gansert" =~ u.e\ g[abc]ns ]]; then echo jo; fi

but while looking at the code a few minutes ago, I noticed a bug in it :(
Currently only substring matching seems to work properly which is what I used
for testing the code when I implemented it :-/
I have to test that but by looking at the code, it looks like a bug
