Memo: whitespace character

Hi.
My ORO Pattern is like this  "^ISIN[\\s]{1}[A-Z]{12}".
But it does not match a string "ISIN AAAAAAAAAAAA".
There is some problem with white space character beacuse if I remove it.
both from  the pattern and the string then it matches the string.
What is the problem?

Thanks and regards,
Rajesh K Sharma.
