Hello Felix, I'm more confident with "^\s*" (or better "^\s+") too.
I prefer "^\s+", because it only matches with really existing spaces. Maybe "\s*" works like this: - Not existing whitespaces at the beginning of the line matches with "\s*". - The not existing whitespaces are replaced with "". - Nothing is done.

However, I'm more confident with "^\s*", and don't see why "\s*" works...
