title: How to find an identifier in Eclipse that's only preceded by white space?
body: <p>Using Eclipse I want to find an identifier where it is not preceded by anything but white spaces: </p>
  
  <pre><code>ident                // match
    ident              // match
      ident            // match
  //  ident            // no match
    //ident            // no match
  blah_ident           // no match
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That I have managed (<code>^[\s]*ident</code>). However, this also captures the preceding white space, which is not what I want. (Especially since it also captures preceding empty line.) </p>
  
  <p><strong>In Eclipse, how do find an identifier that's preceded by white space without also capturing the white space?</strong> </p>
