Here is the default regexp:

"\\.gpg\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'"

Here what you could use:

"\\.gpg\\|\\.txt\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'"

You don't need two groups.

The second part of the regexp is needed if you want that backup files
of your encrypted files be encrypted (e.g toto.gpg ==> toto.gpg~4~)
