Yes. I think the OP was only concerned with spacebar spaces, and

Thank you very much Chris.

Sorry, my regex was indeed about removing stuff at the beginning *only* and

Or, remove spaces and tabs using

tell application "BBEdit"
activate
set pathstring to "/Users/me/Desktop/testfile.txt"

It looks like I'm trying to reinvent the wheel, but I can find a way to do this:
1) replace ^\s with nothing
2) replace \s$ with nothing

11 matches
