I am not a regex expert, but generally it depends on what implementation
you are using. On some, just using a space (fancy that) will work. To
allow for an unlimited number, add an asterisk after the space to
indicate 'zero or more times'
Other implementations may require an escape character for space, for
example [:blank:] matches space or tab in some implementations and \s
matches any whitespace in most implementations (not just space).
So you can play with these until you get what you want.
HTH,
