For me, your regular expression matches just what you want, however it
looks kind of strange:

> [a-z|_|0-9]\+(.\+[^\r\n]\+);\C

1) What are the 2 | in the first collation for? I think you can leave
them out.
2) the [^\r\n] is not needed I believe, since collations usually don't
match line breaks. See :h /\_ for details,
