No. The plus-sign means 'one or more.' The question-mark makes it
'non-greedy.' So \s+? will match the first instance of one or more
whitespace characters -- i.e. the first whitespace character.

The quantifier for 'zero or more' is the asterisk. So if you want to match
an unlimited number of optional whitespace characters, you'd want \s*
