Solution

  • If you want to find lines that just have one space (with some 'word' before and after), try with this:

    ^\S+ \S+$

    Explained:

    ^        # Begin of line
  \S+    # non-blank character repeated 1 or more times
  [ ]    # a space (I'm using [ ] to make it more clear)
  \S+    # non-blank character repeated 1 or more times
$        # end of line
