Changed regular expressions to not require a new line before the match. #10

I was having trouble with some hosts that would give a logon prompt on the first line after logging in. I changed the regular expression being used so this wasn't required.

For example this was an issue when trying to connect to Arista switches without a banner or motd that the user hadn't logged onto since the last reboot/upgrade. Example: [skoog@host ~]$ ssh skoog@labarista password: labarista>

@rskoog seems reasnable, but changing this might break users code. I would suggest an option to disable this prefix to the regex.

(also please rebase, if you want to continue the work on this pull request, some of the files changed names a bit, i'm aware it's from 2 years ago :))
