title: Regex to match the second word of a sentence and trim leading white space
body: <p>I'm trying to write a regex that matches the second word of a sentence.</p>
  
  <p>What I have so far is </p>
  
  <pre><code>\s+[^\s]+
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which matches </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The <strong>quick</strong> brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Unfortunately I can't come up with a solution that removes the leading white space.</p>
  
  <p>For an example see <a href="http://regex101.com/r/nB9yD9" rel="nofollow">http://regex101.com/r/nB9yD9</a></p>
  
  <p>So, is there an easy way to match just "quick" without the white space? The weapon of choice here is C#, if it makes any difference. </p>
  
  <p>And it HAS to be regex, I know <code>String.Split</code> would be much nicer in this specific situation.</p>
  
  <p>On a side note, is it possible to match the n-th word of sentence in regex? For what I know regex can't group into a unknown number of groups, is that correct?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: I had a typo in the example. The underscore I put there was meant to highlight the white space.</p>
