^[[:space:]]+[[:digit:]]+
will hit numbers with one or more digits. to restrict the number of
digits, use something like
^[[:space:]]+[[:digit:]]{2}[^[:digit:]]+
that, for example, should only hit lines that consist of at least one
whitespace character, then exactly two digits, then at least one non-
digit character.
