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.
