Don't forget that '\' is a special character for regular expressions. Not only do you
have to escape it for the strings you also need to escape it for the regexp. So if you want to match
lines that start with "\" you would need to use:
ereg("^\\\\(.*)", $mystring, $reg)
AND NOT ereg("^\\(.*)", $mystring, $reg) as it may appear at first glance.
