[pcre-dev] PCRE with UTF-8

hi,
I am Manohar. I am facing a problem with Utf-8 pattern matching. I have a
text "select * from account where a = 'ਠਡਢಉಉವಷಡಢಣತಥವಷಡಢಣತಥ';"
With PCRE_UTF8 and ".*" pattern, I am able to match the whole string. But is
there any other way to match Utf-8 characters other than ".*" since I want
to extract out *only* the utf-8 characters and nothing else. If i use ".* "
it will match everything till '\n', is there any alternative to match all
UTF-8 characters?

Eagerly waiting for your reply,
