If you mean "What's the reqular expression to check there is no white space in a string", the following pattern will work:
^[\S]*$
This will find any string that only contains non-white space (spaces, new lines, tabs, etc).

I don't know if it is the regular expression you are looking for but, [:space:]
will match any whitespace character, while [:blank:]
will match space and tab characters only.
Both are used inside square brackets, e.g. [[:space:]]
