Very imaginative, but in reality my lines look not like "1 A" but rather like "1 string1 string2 string3" and so your approach would not work anymore.

But your idea is cool.

    If you want to match "1 string1" from "...\n1 string1 string2 string3\n...", use anchor '^', otherwise modifier 'm' is redundant. Did it help?
