Happy New Year everyone!

I've got a small problem with FINDSTR. How can I get it to find lines beginning with exactly one space, followed by any non-space character?

I've tried this:

findstr /r "^ [^ ]"

but that seems to match all lines. Gnu egrep works with this, why not findstr?

findstr /R /C:"^ [^ ]"

Thanks! That works!

My problem was caused by the fact I hadn't read the on-line help properly. The /C option is described as "Uses specified text as a literal search string." I thought that implied you couldn't use regular expressions if you used the /C switch. In fact, you can. The /C switch prevents the special treatment of spaces. The space, in effect, is like an OR operator, so without using /C I was searching for a line beginning with either a space or a non-space, which meant every line. After re-reading the help, it became clearer.
