I you are trying to match accented characters (e.g. you want to match "Café Olé"), you
can use the following regex:
"[a-zà-ü ]+"
This takes advantage of the fact that in the iso-8859-1 "Latin 1", the "à" is
the first accented char and the "ü", the last one.
By the way, the regex above will match this string as a single match:
"aeiou àèìòù áéíóú âêîôû ãõ ñ äëïöü ç"
Beware that your local code page may include a few more char codes in the range "[à-ü]",
so it may match more than you expect.
