Thank you Jason. The xml file didn't actually have a header but I added it
and it worked using the actual Greek characters (just remember to put in an
extra range for accented characters).
I noticed that "\w" (should match alpharithmetic or "_") did not work with
greek. I thought it matched Character.isLetterOrDigit() and as such a method
should work with unicode characters. Neverthelss "." and "\s" do work with
greek.
Hope this will be of help to somebody
Theo
