Product Mapping - Invalid Characters

Hi David,

Hope all is well.

Using the new product mapping feature and looking at entering names containing a colon (:). Getting "product name contains invalid characters".

I see the code in productsmap.php

if(!ereg("^[0-9a-zA-Z\. ]{0,255}$",widget_posted($_POST["name"])))
{
widget_errorSet("name","product name contains invalid characters");
}

Any way of allowing the colon through, or is there a reason it shouldn't be used. Using colon in product names instead of a hyphen as hyphens don't seem to work in urls when rewrite is turned on.

Thanks

Adrian
