Regular expression replacement with an anchor improperly recurses on each line #2820
Description
To remove a single leading space from each line of a file I did a regular expression replace-all: "^ " to "". This instead removed all leading spaces. I thought an anchor like "^" wouldn't be recursed unless some special recurse option was selected.
