java regex to match any character to match everything and anything 072214
any character in java

This regex should match just about anything, but I have missed some things. Note that a "." usually matches just about anything with most tools, but with java a "." seems to match a much more limited set of characters.

\\w.\\s\\*\\-\\:\\(\\)\\/\\\\\\+\\,\"|\\[\\=><'`]
