^\s*$ does not work for me in BBEdit. BBEdit does not find the
empty lines that proceeds the line containing "four" or the
line containing "six" in my test file.
It isn't expected to, since $ explicitly matches the position
_preceding_ the nearest line end:
[Chapter 8: Searching with Grep / page 166]
It is important to note that ^ and $ do not actually match return
characters. They match zero-width positions after and
before returns,
respectively. So, if you are looking for “foo” at the
end of a line,
the pattern "foo$" will match the three characters "f",
"o", and "o".
If you search for "foo\r", you will match the same text,
but the
match will contain four characters: "f", "o", "o", and [the
linebreak which follows].
