How about using "[^ ]XMI001" where the brackets contain a (set of) valid
character(s) to match against, but in this case a leading carrot '^' in
the brackets indicates that we do NOT want to match against the set of
characters.

So, a regmatch of "[^ ]XMI001" would match "XMI001" and "zXMI001" but
not " XMI001" since the brackets contain a negated space (i.e. no space
before XMI001) 

Make sense?
