\d doesn't match hex digits or, at least not all of them.
Instead of your first \d you could use [0-9A-F] which actually matches exactly
the characters you want. \d will also match many characters you probably
don't want to match, unfortunately.
However, I might be tempted to go with Rob's second solution, unless you are
sure each line matches that regexp exactly. And if you are, is it always "Not
Visible" in there, or can it really be any three and seven letter words? If
not, why not use "Not Visible" in your regexp?
