The regex you want is "^[[:space:]]*word"

Wow, thanks everyone for the help! How does one modify this to also knock out lines that *must* have whitespace followed by a number [0-9]? I can do it using "^[[:space:]]*[0-9]" but it also takes out lines w/o whitespace that begin with
numbers?


^[[:space:]]+[[:digit:]]+

will hit numbers with one or more digits. to restrict the number of digits, use something like

^[[:space:]]+[[:digit:]]{2}[^[:digit:]]+

that, for example, should only hit lines that consist of at least one whitespace character, then exactly two digits, then at least one non- digit character.
