I'd typically do that in either of two ways:
: {range} s/^[ TAB]*//
With a {range} like ".", ".+2", "1,.", ".,$" or "'a,'e" (my standard
begin and end range marks).
Or without using ex mode commands "^" to jumpt to first non-whitespace on
the line and then "d0" to delete to first column.

Save search pattern then use next:
/[0-9]/
n

I'm unclear in particular what this is asking for. Maybe "d3w3jp" ?
