Thats not what I mean. I set a variable with string values that are
inserted by other libraries (not under my control), but I want to use
these string values for regexp searches in my own program too. 

But thanks to everyone, I was probably looking for an (obscure magic)
non-printable control-character that functions in a string like "^" does
in a regexp, but the way to handle this is probably 'take the string and
add "^" in front of it before using it as regexp'.
