Hi there,

I am camping with a little regular expressions problem...

Problem: I want to check if $variable begins with a * (star), and it doesn't matter if 
it starts with plenty of spaces...

My solution:
ereg("^[:space:]*\*",$variable)

But, it doesn't seem to work with the space part... The regex:

ereg("^\*",$variable)

does work, but that doesn't include spaces at the start... How can I extend this one 
so that it doesn't matter if there are a lot of spaces at the begin?

Thanks in advance,

Leon Mergen
