You dont need to escape the @, thats probably why its not matching. Actually no, thats not it. Do you have "expand variables" checked? (If so, why?) There shouldnt be anything wrong with matching on @ (unless you do have expand variables checked).

A this time i've:
^[ ]*\[([\x2a]*)([\@]*)([\#]*)([X]*)([x]*)([\.]*)]$

The * looks to be after the open [ but you have it before.
\[\*

The final ] does not appear to be escaped.
\]

^[ ]\[\*([\x2a]*)([\@]*)([\#]*)([X]*)([x]*)([\.]*)\]$

Maybe that one will work.

to numerical value ... my preblem is that i can't have * matched

A this time i've:
^[ ]*\[([\x2a]*)([\@]*)([\#]*)([X]*)([x]*)([\.]*)]$

which works perfectly but for the *

Can anyone help me?
