Send/expect strings |

Hello,
First, the docs mention this:
[{SEND|EXPECT} "string"]+
I was wondering what the behavior of multiple "send" commands are,
e.g., can I do:
send "hello world\r\n"
send "what's up\r\n"
Then do:
expect "Everything is great!\r\n"
In other words, does multiple send statements effectively mean
concatenation? The reason I am wondering is I am looking to send a lot
of non-printable chars and putting it in one string makes my config
file unreadable.
Second... I was wondering about non-printable characters in the
"expect" string. I am presuming it will be handles as a regular
expression (it is not completely clear what causes regex vs not-regex
mode) but, for instance, this is a possible expect statement:
expect "^\x00"
Does this work or should I be using a different method to match
non-printable characters? I've read through a bunch of POSIX regex
docs and I can't find much about non-printable characters.
Thanks in advance,
JD
