IOW, what is the symbol for optional but not
necessary spaces?
This should be near the first page of anything you read about regex.
ab\s*c will match abc and ab[any amount of white space]c
Paste this into a BBEdit doc and run it from the #! menu:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# put any number of white space chars or none between b and c
$_ = "ab c" ;
/ab\s*c/ ? print "matched" : print "no match";
