<quote orignal message>
the example below should turn any character exept "\*" (*= any
char) into an "x":
</quote>
Besides that all mine needed was a extra \
$term = 'char \not xed';
preg_replace('/(?<!\\\).{1}/', 'x', $term);
result: xxxxxxnxxxxx
will replace anychar that isnt escaped by \ to an x, with the side
effect that the \ gets x'd too, thus
preg_replace('/(?<!\\\)[\\\]{1}/', 'x', $term);
Finally fixes the problem:
result: xxxxx\nxxxxx

This is completly different problem. It isn't a matching issue but
a replacement issue.
preg_replace('/\\\.{1}/', '', $term);
You want to remove all \* characters.
