[ka-Map-users] Problem in precache2

[David Badke]

The "-m mapname" option in precache2 does not work if the map name 
includes a hyphen (e.g. my-map) or (I suspect) any character other then 
a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _. ka-Map itself does not object to map names with 
hyphens or other non-alphanumeric characters.

The problem is in the regular expression in the statement

            if(preg_match('/\s-m\s+(\w+)\s/', $argString, $matches) == 1) {

The (\w)+ term only matches "word" characters, which are not clearly 
defined, but don't seem to include the hyphen. Of course hyphens can be 
accepted with

            '/\s-m\s+([\w\-]+)\s/'

but that only covers the one case. I am far from being a regex-pert so I 
can't suggest a better way...
