in thread RegEx Beginning of line or whitespace match

  • I do not think the alternation of space with "start of line" is a good thing .
    It's not good style and it looks like it can cause problems.
    Use ^\s* instead .

  • You don't need to remember the patterns so why use () to match the spaces ?

  • What would the /g modifier do in such a context ? I don't like it with a start of line.
