Dear Mr. Brauckmann

The File Content Sensor (https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/file_content_sensor.htm) allows to use Regex as search. The search method can be configured in the sensor settings, section "Search Method".

Limitations of the Regex methods are:

- The entire regular expression must fit into a single line - If multiple results are found, only the last one will be returned
