Hi Wes,
Keyword highlighting/regex has been enhanced since v8.2.
The first version in which this will work is v8.7.
Changes in SecureCRT 8.7 (Beta 1) -- November 20, 2019
------------------------------------------------------
New features:
- Keyword highlighting supports the ability to match phrases and substrings and works with literal strings and regular expressions.
