-Note that you can combine multiple regexes onto one line using commas. (Commas can only be used for separating regexes; they will not be processed as part of a regex.) The order in which regexes are listed on a line is significant: devices matching the first regex will be rendered first, and subsequent groups will be rendered to the right of those.
