Epiphany regex-route error

Question

i'm trying to implement a Rest web services using epiphany framework in this way:

include_once 'rest/Epi.php';

Epi::setSetting('exceptions', true);
Epi::setPath('base', 'rest');
Epi::init('route');
getRoute()->post('/city/(\w+)', 'getCity');
getRoute()->run();

function getCity($tmp){
    //My work
}

The problem borns when i use url like:

http://mydomain/*/city/OLOMOUC-REPUBLICA%20CHECA

what i understood is that the problem is with regex (\w+), how can i change it to allow any string?

It seems that the OP wants to match everything. So (.*) did the job.

\w is the same as writing [a-zA-Z0-9_]. Which basically means you should use ([\w\s%-]+). \s will match a whitespace.

it works if the string is in the format "string-string". if the string is in the form "string -string" it doesn't work.. i need something that can take every string – Jayyrus Jul 03 '13 at 12:12
@JackTurky Please be precise. Regex isn't a guess game. You have provided an example where there isn't a space. I will edit the regex for now. – HamZa Jul 03 '13 at 12:15
@JackTurky Oh and if you want to match *everything* then just use `.*`, but I doubt that you want that ... – HamZa Jul 03 '13 at 12:17
