Regex that is useful but unfortunately, my skills are pretty weak in that
area.
I use an application named "The Regex Coach' to build my code. It has a

no need to escape the space char with a slash.
are you sure it is only 1 space, and are you sure it is a space char
(chr(32))?
If so, remove the slash in front of the space, and it should work.
