What To Know Before Using
ยท When constructing the match operator argument for "prompt()" or
"waitfor()", always use single quotes instead of double quotes to
avoid unexpected backslash interpretation (e.g. '/bash\$ $/'). If
you're constructing a DOS like file path, you'll need to use four
backslashes to represent one (e.g. '/c:\\\\users\\\\bill>$/i').
Of course don't forget about regexp metacharacters like ".", "[", or
"$". You'll only need a single backslash to quote them. The anchor
metacharacters "^" and "$" refer to positions in the input buffer.
To avoid matching characters read that look like a prompt, it's a
good idea to end your prompt pattern with the "$" anchor. That way
the prompt will only match if it's the last thing read
