The easiest way is to use "Clock advanced by (.*) ticks" as matching expression.

    so .* only stands for numerics or integers or for any string?

      Its a regex...

       

      . == any character

      * == 0 or more of the preceding character

       

      So .* effectively matches ANY string. Including an empty one.
