Regular Expression in Xcode Editor: newlines+whitespace

Whenever I need to do any serious regex search/replace I have to switch to BBEdit because I can never get Xcode's to find expected results. Solving the following simple mystery might be a big help:

Find: \n   This finds a newline.  Great.

Find: \s   This finds a whitespace.  Great.

Find: \s*\n  This finds trailing whitespaces at end of lines.  Great.

But

Find: \n\s
   Expected Result:  Should find any newline followed by a
      whitespace -- roughly, any indented line.
      I have lots of those!
   Actual Result: NSBeep().  Never finds anything.

How can I get my expected result?

Thanks,
