The biggest problem with your regexp is the greedy match .* but your search criteria is too vague to want to try and post any code. For example, why does asdfxx.p but not xx5.p? Of course your regexp will not match asdfxx.p anyway. Please post some real sample data and explain the search criteria in more detail.
