any appreciated.

you may use

^.*?(string\s*).* 

and replace $1.

explanation:

• ^ - start of string
• .*? - 0 or more characters other newline few possible before....
• (string\s*) - (group 1) literal character sequence string followed 0 or more characters other whitespace (\s*)
• .* - 0 or more characters other newline (up end of line)
