"\" to removes the special meaning of "x".
Snippet from http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/6.2/command/reference/crIntro.html Regular Expression Syntax Regular expressions are text patterns that are used for string matching. Regular expressions contain a mix of plain text and special characters to indicate what kind of matching to do. For example, if you are looking for a numeric digit, the regular expression to search for is "[0-9]". The brackets indicate that the character being compared should match any one of the characters enclosed within the bracket. The dash (-) between 0 and 9 indicates that it is a range from 0 to 9. Therefore, this regular expression will match any character from 0 to 9, that is, any digit. To search for a specific special character, you must use a backslash before the special character. For example, the single character regular expression "\*" matches a single asterisk. The regular expressions defined in this section are similar to a subset of the POSIX Extended Regular Expression definitions. In particular, "[..]", "[==]", and "[::]" expressions are not supported. Also, escaped expressions representing single characters are supported. A character can be represented as its hexadecimal value, for example, \x61 equals `a,' so \x61 is an escaped expression representing the character `a.'
