If you need both space and tab character than use this regexp
[ \t]*
this should work (tested now in OOWriter). Or do you need this?
[ \t]{2,}
However, these are just workarounds -- apparently OOo RE implementation
doesn't support any [:.*:] markers (tested with OOo 2.0 here on
Debian/testing). Did you try to search on issuezilla, whether there is an
issue about this (if not, go and file it)? Developers may publish some
workaround for this.
