hi
select 'Ho Ho Ho' ~* '^Ho'; returns true
select 'Ho Ho Ho' ~* ' Ho'; returns true
select 'Ho Ho Ho' ~* '[^ ]Ho'; returns false (Please note there is a space between ^ and ])

"A /bracket expression/ is a list of characters enclosed in []. It normally matches any single character from the list (but see below). If the list begins with ^, it matches any single character /not/ from the rest of the list."
