This newsgroup is for discussion of GNU Emacs, not XEmacs. Try
comp.emacs.xemacs to get people who know about XEmacs.

That said, I think your problem is that the regexp you've used is just
"." which matches one single letter of any kind, what you probably want
is ".*" which matches a string composed of letters on any kind.
